HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) — The Huntsville man charged with killing two women on Bonnell Drive in August 2023 appeared in court on Friday.
25-year-old Tye Deshun Stevens is charged with the capital murder of D’Asia Monique Morris and Sequoiya Mone’e Lamar. Stevens was arrested in September 2024 in Anniston, Alabama.
He appeared before Madison County Circuit Judge Chris Comer with his attorneys, Chad Morgan and Larry Marsli, for a status conference to discuss where the case stands. Comer said he wanted to have the hearing to make sure the case was flowing as it should.
Neither the prosecution nor the defense raised any issue, and there were no pending motions for Comer to rule on. Despite being denied bond several times in this case, the issue did not come up in Friday’s hearing.
The State told Comer that the Defense had been presented with all the discovery it had and that it did not anticipate a plea deal would be offered to Stevens. After the hearing, the State confirmed that it will be seeking the death penalty against him.
According to the Huntsville Police Department, on Aug. 29, 2023, officers responded to a shooting call on Bonnell Drive. Morris and Lamar were both found dead at the scene.
He was indicted by a Madison County grand jury in October 2024.
Stevens is set to stand trial on Aug. 17, 2026.
