Overview
- Jacori Redding, 15, has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter with a firearm and related gun charges in the Oct. 9 shooting of 16-year-old Pinien Dalmacy near Oak Ridge High.
- A judge rescheduled the pretrial detention hearing to Nov. 12 after Redding retained new counsel, and records show he has been moved to Orange County Jail custody.
- Prosecutors say investigators recovered a message on Redding’s phone describing a plan to make someone think a fight was coming and then “pop” them.
- Filings assert Redding had a gun at school throughout the day, and deputies later found him in the cafeteria with a firearm recovered from his bag after the shooting.
- The state’s motion notes 39 school discipline incidents, including 17 for physical altercations, and says Redding was already facing grand theft auto charges.
