The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office arrested 18-year-old Brandon Hackworth and charged him with murder in October 2007, according to WKRG.
Investigators said they believed Hackworth shot and killed his 19-year-old friend, Jesse Dade, during an argument. Dade’s body was found in a yard near County Road 66 and Curry Lane in Loxley. Sheriff Hoss Mack said Dade had been shot several times and that investigators believed the crime might be gang related.
