MEMPHIS, Tenn. -- The man accused of shooting a FedEx employee in the hub parking lot in October has been released without bond. 18-year-old Tyreese Earnest was charged with attempted second-degree murder, employment of a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony, reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon, and vandalism. Tyreese Earnest (SCSO) Earnest was released on his own recognizance and is scheduled to be back in court on November 26. On October 30, Memphis Airport Police responded to the shooting at the FedEx World Hub located in the 2800 block of Democrat Road. Memphis Police say the victim identified Earnest as the man responsible for the shooting. Shelby County District Attorney Steve Mulroy said on Wednesday that the D.A.'s office opposed lowering Earnest's initial $200,000 bond which was set by a judicial commissioner, and also opposed his release without bond. "The details of the alleged crime, the fact the victim was ambushed, and the violent nature of it convinces us that this suspect is a threat to public safety," said Mulory in a statement. "I respect the court's decision but disagree with it." The D.A.'s office can argue for bond and against ROR, but ultimately, it is the judge who makes the final decision. "Be sure if the defendant violates the terms of release, we will be ready to ask the court to reincarcerate him. As for the case, we will further investigate, build a strong case, and prosecute vigorously," Mulroy said. Earnest later identified the other two men with him on the scene as 18-year-old twin brothers Ja'Marcus Odell and Ja'Marion Odell. Ja'Marion admitted to officers that he drove Earnest and his brother to the FedEx World Hub. 3 arrested in connection to FedEx employee shooting Left to right: Ja'Marcus Odell and Ja'Marion Odell (Photos courtesy of the Shelby County Sheriff's Office) The Odell twins were later taken into custody and each charged with criminal attempt facilitation to wit: second-degree murder.
