Judge Renee Raymond decided on Tuesday enough probable cause exists to hold 22-year-old Ameesha Gray without bail for the 2015 murder of Cortez Clark, 32.
The affidavit said Gray’s phone was used to lure Clark to the 300 block of Parkland Place on Oct. 10. When Clark arrived, witnesses state that Gray, John Allen, 26, Tayvon Felton, 19, and Wade Willson, 20, beat and stabbed Clark to death before taking his cloths, keys and wallet.
Multiple witnesses stated in the affidavit that Gray was seen spitting on Clark and kicking him in the head.
Cortez’s body was found by Metropolitan Police in vacant apartment 331 Parkland Place three days after his murder
Gray was emotional throughout her presentment. She cried and was seen physically shaking. When she was forced to leave the court room she yelled “Mom, I love you all,” as a small group of her family cried and waved goodbye.
Gray will be seen in court on July 29 at 9:30 a.m. and is the forth person to be formally charged in Cortez’s case.
