ORIGINAL STORY

Two murder suspects are expected to appear before a judge later today.  Both 25-year-old India Nelson and 30-year-old Rory Smith are expected to enter pleas during an arraignment hearing.  Nelson and Smith are charged in the Christmas Eve shooting that left a mobile teenager dead.

“My children has lost their brother, we're not whole,” said Jakory Smith’s mother Marie Salter Millerden last week.  On Saturday, a celebration of life service was held for 15-year-old Jakory Smith at the Ark of Safety Church in Mobile.  Family members say Smith was staying with relatives at the Carondolet Apartments when he was shot in the neck as he slept.

India Nelson -- the female suspect -- has a child in common with one of Jakory's brothers. Rory Smith is not related to the family.
