Five children, ranging in age from 12 to 16, were charged on Thursday, February 7, in the shooting death of Nashville rock singer Kyle Yorlets, according to a press release from the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.Three girls, ages 12, 14 and 15, and two boys, ages 13 and 16, were arrested at a local Walmart and charged with criminal homicide. Police said they recovered two loaded pistols, both of which had been reported stolen, when they apprehended the kids.

The Hyundai Santa Fe that they used to travel to the store had also been reported stolen. As of Friday morning, the kids remain in a juvenile detention center.Under Tennessee law, detectives were allowed to publicly identify three of the five children because they have been charged with homicide and are over age 13: Roniyah McKnight, 14, Diamond Lewis, 15, and Decorrius Wright, 16. The names of the 12 and 13-year-olds have not been released.

The press release stated that the five juveniles were in a stolen Chevrolet Colorado in an alley behind Yorlets’ home when they spotted him outside. Police said the kids interacted with the 24-year-old musician before taking his wallet and demanding that he hand over the keys to his vehicle. Investigators believe that Yorlets refused to surrender his keys, which prompted the fatal shooting. It is unclear which of the five children pulled the trigger.
