Craven was killed on Blake Road on March 11, according to the sheriff’s office. Investigators believe robbery was the motive.

But police did not say if the teens knew the man before the incident.

Jeremy Klutts Jr. was granted $75,000 bond and ordered to wear an ankle monitor, according to the sheriff’s office. The other three suspects were denied bond and are being held in a Mississippi jail.
