Man indicted on attempted murder charge following 2024 Alabama A&M shooting
MADISON COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — A Madison County Grand Jury has indicted a man on an attempted murder charge after a shooting at Alabama A&M in March 2024. University officials said the incident also involved an Alabama A&M law enforcement officer. Juvuan Maurice Richards is charged with shooting Christopher Toney and firing a gun inside an occupied building. He was also indicted on this charge. After the incident last year, law enforcement officials said an officer confronted an armed man in the stairwell of the Knight Center Complex and they exchanged gunfire. That person was not named, but New 19 learned that Richards had been charged the same day with shooting inside an occupied building. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
