A judge denied bond Friday for four men charged with attempted murder in the shooting of a six-year-old boy.

Six-year-old A.J. Ezell was hit by three bullets Monday night when someone opened fire on Gloria York Avenue in Toulminville. A.J. and his mother, Sherrell Allen, were sitting at a stop sign when the bullets started flying.

23-year-old Tyrone Smith, who was sitting in another car, was hit in the face and upper chest.

Police arrested three men in connection with the shooting on Wednesday. A fourth suspect, 25-year-old Kendun Buchanan, was booked into Mobile Metro Jail just before 1:00 a.m. Friday.

This morning, a judge denied bond for Buchanan, 23-year-old Cedric Morrissette, 21-year-old Trevante Smith and 28-year-old Nicholas Roberson. All four are charged with two counts of attempted murder.
