  • Daricka M. Moore, 24, entered not guilty pleas to 11 charges that include capital murder and first-degree murder tied to six deaths across Clay County.
  • The capital counts are linked to the deaths of 7-year-old Mikylia Guines, Pastor Barry Bradley and Samuel Bradley, while first-degree counts involve Glenn Moore, Quinten Moore and Willie Guines.
  • Additional charges include attempted capital murder of another child, attempted sexual battery, burglary of a dwelling and two counts of felony taking of a motor vehicle.
