It was February 2011 when a Lauderdale County party quickly turned tragic. The District Attorney's Office says a group of young people were gathered at a home when gunshots rang out. One teenager was killed and prosecutors say multiple people helped cover it up.

Assistant District Attorney Lisa Howell says William Jordan was found guilty of murdering Aaron Coleman and given a 30-year sentence to serve earlier this year. She says JaMichael Smith pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder and is now back in Michigan. Charlie C. Henderson was found guilty of accessory after the fact to murder this week and is in jail.

"We wanted to make sure the shooter was punished first," Howell stresses. "But, we didn't want any of the people that helped move his body or to cover up the evidence to go free."
