Julius Carl Watts and Michael Cordell Watts were handed $500,000 bonds on each count Wednesday in connection with a shooting that recently took place on Marie Foster Street.

The bonds, District Attorney Michael Jackson said, will add up because the two were charged with first degree assault and firing into an occupied dwelling.

“It’s basically like a $1 million bond,” Jackson said.

The two men appeared before District Judge Bob Armstrong one day after turning themselves in and less then 48 hours after Selma Police officials asked the community for help in finding the two suspects in an early August shooting.

Julius Carl Watts and 32-year-old Michael Cordell Watts were taken into custody Tuesday morning and charged.

Selma Chief of Police William T. Riley said the shooting happened in the 1500 block of Marie Foster Street around 11 p.m. and that witnesses reported the suspects in a grey sports utility vehicle.

A third suspect, Darrell Dewayne Watts, was taken into custody in connection with this same shooting on Aug. 9.

The victim in the case was reportedly struck in a knee and hip from bullets reportedly fired from the SUV occupied by the three suspects.

The victim was taken to Vaughan Regional Medical Center, stabilized and then transported to UAB Medical Center in Birmingham.
