Third suspect in Champion homicide turns himself in

Bryan Jones, a suspect in the hazing homicide of FAMU drum major Robert Champion turned himself in to authorities at the Hillsborough County Jail. Jones, 21, was arrested on a third-degree felony hazing charge on Wednesday. He left custody after posting a $15,000 bond.

Rikki Willis, another suspect who was arrested and taken to the Leon County Jail yesterday, also paid a $15,000 bond to secure his pre-trail release.

Caleb Jackson, a third defendant, remains behind bars in Tallahassee. A judge denied him bail due to the fact that he is on probation for a battery conviction. The probation resulted from a fight that took place at Tallahassee Community College.

Ten other suspects face hazing charges for Champion’s beating death on Nov. 19 in Orlando.
