Lexington, Kentucky – Bond Hearing Held for Three Suspects in Shooting Death of Daeivyon Elliott
A bond hearing took place on Monday for three individuals charged in connection with the shooting death of Daeivyon Elliott in Lexington. The suspects are identified as Darrion Saliford, Brooklyn Trigg, and Jeffrey Ollie. They face multiple charges linked to the incident that left Elliott deceased.
Darrion Saliford is facing serious allegations, including murder, tampering with evidence, and possession of a handgun by a convicted felon. In contrast, both Brooklyn Trigg and Jeffrey Ollie are charged with complicity to murder and tampering with physical evidence. The hearing lasted nearly two hours, featuring exchanges between Lexington police homicide detective Nicholas Music and the legal representatives of the suspects.
Details of the Incident
Detective Music provided insight into the events surrounding the shooting. He reported that Trigg had stated she and her cousin were inside a vehicle with Elliott when masked individuals approached and began firing at them. Additionally, gunshot residue was discovered on Trigg’s hands, which raised suspicion that she may have fired shots from within the vehicle. Evidence collected at the scene included shell casings, which were found outside the vehicle, indicating a significant exchange of gunfire.
During the investigation, it was established that Ollie was driving the vehicle in which Saliford was present at the time of the incident. The emergency call regarding the shooting was made at 12:11 p.m., while Saliford was recorded to be in a parking lot near Elliott’s vehicle just two minutes earlier, at 12:09 p.m..
Bond Decisions
During the hearing, the presiding judge expressed concerns regarding Saliford, labeling him a flight risk due to his prior drug charges, for which he was out on bond at the time of the shooting. Saliford’s bond remains set at $750,000. In contrast, Trigg’s bond was lowered to $250,000 during the proceedings, reflecting considerations of her circumstances. Ollie received a bond reduction to $500,000, primarily due to his lack of a criminal history.
Upcoming Proceedings
A status hearing has been scheduled for the trio on July 18, where further developments in the case will likely be addressed. The legal process continues as the evidence is examined and the prosecution and defense prepare for the next steps in this serious case.
The incident has drawn considerable attention within the Lexington community, as residents look for answers and justice for Elliott’s untimely death. The circumstances of this case remain under scrutiny as law enforcement gathers more information and as the legal proceedings unfold.
