Artavius Underwood
Birmingham police announced last night that Artavius Underwood, 16, of Birmingham has been charged with five counts of capital murder in the case.
Underwood is being held without bond in the slayings and on $250,000 bond in an unrelated robbery case.
On Tuesday night, police announced that Rashad Stoves, 17, of Birmingham had been charged with five counts of capital murder in the weekend massacre.
The two are accused of fatally shooting Ronnie Render, 42, Charles Render, 21, Jonathan Sanchez, 23, Demetrius Sanford, 19 and Jeffrey Davis Jr., 23.
Underwood's mother, Ramona Underwood, said she was sorry for the victims' families, but she doesn't believe her son was involved in the slayings.

"I want to say I'm sorry for their loss," she said tonight. "He said he didn't do it. I believe him."
