BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA - A Birmingham woman is back behind bars on a capital murder charge that a judge previously dismissed.
Tamiya Krishaun Thomas, 24, is indicted in the January slaying of 40-year-old James Leon Craig, according to court records made public Monday.
She was booked into the Jefferson County Jail on Sept. 25 and now is being held without bond.
...
The charge is capital because the fatal shots were fired from outside into Craig’s home.
Prosecutors said the deadly shooting happened during a domestic dispute between Craig and Thomas’s mother, Meenya Thomas.
The mother and daughter were at Craig’s family home uninvited – the front door had been kicked in - while Craig had another woman there. Tamiyah Thomas fired shots into the house, striking Craig in the head.
