The charges include second-degree murder for the deaths of News 13 reproter Dylan Lyons, Natacha Augustin and 9-year-old T’Yonna Major as well as first-degree attempted murder for Jesse Walden and Brandi Major.

But Worrell said the office still plans to seek a grand jury indictment for first-degree murder charges in the case, but is filing the second-degree charges to make sure Moses remains in custody.
