ATLANTA — One defendant in a November 2022 shooting that left a 12-year-old and 15-year-old dead on the 17th Street Bridge has agreed to a plea deal with prosecutors and two more are considering deals offered to them.

The defendants, Antonio Jackson, A’Micael Aziz, Toney Wilson, Derodney Russell, Demetrius Hill and DeAndre Forston are all minors, but they were being charged as adults.

Aziz received the lightest sentence with his plea deal, 10 years with five to serve.

Prosecutors say surveillance video proved Aziz did not play a crucial role in the shooting.

The state offered Jackson 20 years with 10 to serve and Hill was offered 40 years with 30 to serve.

Attorneys for both Jackson and Hill say they were granted continuance so they have time to review the plea deals.

Atlanta police said in November of 2022, the defendants shot and killed 12-year-old Zyion Charles and 15-year-old Cameron Jackson during a large fight on the 17th Street Bridge near Atlantic Station.

Atlanta police have previously said they believe Jackson was the intended target and that Charles may have been killed in the crossfire. Police said they believed the shooting was gang-related.

Police searched for weeks and finally identified and arrested the six suspects.
