He was charged with murder and
ordered held without bail despite
his lawyer’s attempts to argue the
death of Vaughn was an accident.

blood splatters showed evidence of
a beating and intentional shooting.
“A gun in the hands of a very

tor J.W. Friday at a vigil held in
Vaughn ’ s memory in front of Rocky
Butte Road on Friday that drew
nearly a hundred people.

Friday said the collective effort
of Yashanee’s mother, friends and
family is something to be noted and
appreciated.
