LEE COUNTY, AL (WTVM) -
An Auburn teenager who was previously named as a person of interest in connection to a double homicide is now being named as a suspect.
Justin Wright, 18, has been charged with murder and one count of assault after three people were shot at the house party in Loachapoka, AL Friday night.
The shooting left 44-year-old Lamar Lockhart and 24-year-old Lamar Shanks dead.
Sources say more charges may be pending.
Wright turned himself in Saturday, just hours after the fatal shooting. A motive for the shooting have not been revealed to the public.
Investigators told News Leader 9 the gunman opened fire on the victims as they stood on the front porch of a home in the 3100 block of Lee Road 188.
