Bond Set for Suspect in Bonfire Killing of Alabama Teen Cheerleader Kimber Mills

A Jefferson County judge set bond totaling $330,000 for 27-year-old Steven Tyler Whitehead and ordered electronic monitoring if he is released, according to local court reports. Whitehead now faces a murder charge in addition to attempted-murder counts tied to other victims injured during the shooting. Deputies say gunfire followed a fight at an Oct. 18 bonfire in a wooded area known as The Pit near Alabama 75, with first responders dispatched at 12:24 a.m. Mills, 18, was taken off life support at UAB after an Honor Walk; her family says her heart and lungs were matched to recipients through organ donation. Survivor Silas McCay, 21, says he was shot 10 times while intervening and is recovering, as her school held a senior-night tribute and funeral services are scheduled Sunday in Cleveland.
