Two other people were kidnapped during the incident, but were both then released and one managed to alert authorities. The killings were described by investigators as the worst in Mobile County's history. A suspect, identified as Derrick Dearman, who was the estranged boyfriend of the escaped hostage, later turned himself in at a Mississippi police station. He was charged with six counts of capital murder and two counts of abduction. KillingsThe killings began at 4:10 p.m. CT at a home in the 1700 block of Jim Platt Road. The assailant killed the victims using several different weapons, including a firearm, while they were all sleeping. One of the victims was five months pregnant when she was killed. A four-month-old baby and a woman named Laneta Lester survived the incident unharmed after being kidnapped. The bodies were found after both hostages were released in Mississippi. Lester fled to the Citronelle Police Department station and notified authorities of the crime scene. Initial reports said she escaped.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Investigators said that a 9-1-1 call had been made by residents at the home a few hours before the killings, in which they reported a trespasser. Officers responded to the house, but found no one and left.[4] Investigators also believed an ax and then several firearms in the home were used, and that the attack was committed in the process of an attempted burglary or abduction.[8][6][10] Two firearms and a "bladed weapon" were found at the house.[7] The attack was described as the worst mass killing in the history of Mobile County.[8] Perpetrator and victimsPerpetratorAfter the incident ended, a suspect, identified as 27-year-old Derrick Dearman, turned himself in at his hometown of Leakesville, Mississippi, located about {{convert|30|mi}} to the west of Citronelle.[4] He reportedly surrendered after his father convinced him to do so.[14] Dearman was the boyfriend of Laneta Lester, but she fled due to an alleged abusive relationship. The home where the killings occurred belonged to one of the victims, who was Lester's brother, and was being shared by all of the victims. Lester was reportedly seeking shelter inside.[9][16][17] Dearman's ex-wife described him as having "a temper, especially when he doesn't get his way".[9] Dearman had an extensive criminal record in Mississippi, which included charges of disorderly conduct, telephone harassment, resisting arrest, and burglary. At the time of the killings, he was wanted on a warrant stemming from the burglary charge, for which he had been released on a {{Currency|10000|US}} bond.[5][10][11] VictimsThe deceased victims were named as:[9][12]
Legal proceedingsOn August 22, Dearman was extradited to Mobile, Alabama, to face trial.[14] While being escorted to an administrative building, he reportedly said "Don't do drugs", apologized, and said he turned himself in after realizing what he had done. He later apologized to Lester by name and described the victims as friends.[15][16] The following day, he said he was on methamphetamine at the time of the killings, blaming the drug's influence on the crime.[17] On August 31, Dearman was charged with six counts of capital murder (one concerning Chelsea Reed's unborn baby, under Alabama's fetal homicide law[18]) and two counts of abduction. He pleaded not guilty to all of the counts.[9][19][20] He later pleaded guilty in the killings.[21][22][23][24] On October 12, 2018, he was sentenced to death.[25] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/citronelle_mayor_city_is_in_sh.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=Citronelle mayor: City is in 'shock' following murders|work=Alabama Live|date=August 22, 2016|accessdate=September 2, 2016|first=John|last=Sharp}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Citronelle homicides}}2. ^{{cite web|url=http://bnonews.com/news/index.php/news/id5044|title=5 dead in ‘gruesome’ murders in Citronelle, Alabama|publisher=BNO News|date=August 21, 2016|accessdate=September 1, 2016}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/several_people_dead_at_citrone.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=5 dead, including pregnant woman, in south Alabama mass homicide|work=Alabama Live|date=August 20, 2016|accessdate=September 1, 2016|first=Erin|last=Edgemon}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/authorities_horrific_citronell.html#incart_river_index_topics|title='Horrific' Citronelle murders of 5 may take days to decipher, authorities say|work=Alabama Live|date=August 21, 2016|accessdate=September 1, 2016|first=Lawrence|last=Specker}} 5. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/citronelle_slaying_victims_ide.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=Citronelle slaying victims identified, suspect charged with six counts of murder|work=Alabama Live|date=August 21, 2016|accessdate=September 2, 2016|first=Ivana|last=Hrynkiw}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/article/ZZ/20160824/NEWS/160829033|title=The Latest: 'Several' firearms, ax used in Alabama killings|work=Santa Cruz Sentinel|date=August 24, 2016|accessdate=September 3, 2016}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/accused_citronelle_killer_used.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=Accused Citronelle killer used ax first to murder victims; made several stops while fleeing to Mississippi|work=Alabama Live|date=August 23, 2016|accessdate=September 5, 2016|first=John|last=Sharp}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://wkrg.com/2016/08/31/derrick-dearman-pleads-not-guilty-in-the-citronelle-murders/|title=Derrick Dearman Pleads Not Guilty In The Citronelle Murders|work=WKRG|date=August 31, 2016|accessdate=September 3, 2016|first1=J.B.|last1=Biunno|first2=Jacqueline|last2=Quynh}} 9. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/citronelle_quintuple_homicide.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=Citronelle quintuple homicide: What we know Monday|work=Alabama Live|date=August 22, 2016|accessdate=September 2, 2016|first=Ivana|last=Hrynkiw}} 10. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://wkrg.com/2016/08/20/5-people-killed-in-gruesome-homicide-including-pregnant-woman/|title=Names Released Of Five People "Gruesomely" Murdered In Citronelle, Including Pregnant Woman|work=WKRG|date=August 20, 2016|accessdate=September 3, 2016|first1=J.B.|last1=Biunno|first2=Emily|last2=DeVoe|first3=Jacqueline|last3=Quynh|first4=Ashley|last4=Knight}} 11. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.al.com/news/mobile/index.ssf/2016/08/who_is_derrick_dearman_citrone.html#incart_river_index_topics|title=Who is Derrick Dearman?
