A 26-year old Akron man has officially been charged with two counts of murder, felonious assault and firearms specifications in connection with the stray bullet shooting death of 11-year old Carmella Holley at her mother's apartment on Keys Place in South Akron.

Charges were filed in court today against Vernon Singleton.

Bond was set at $100,000 for Singleton. Carmella Holley was struck by the bullet as she was watching television in the apartment in August.

Akron Police say a feud between Singleton and 18-year old Terrence Roane erupted into a gunfight around the apartment complex. Roane has been indicted on felonious assault and other charges and remains in the Summit County Jail.
