An Alabama teenager who was released on bond after being charged with manslaughter on Thursday was seen posing with his sister for a picture later posted to social media.
Michael Jerome Barber, 17, was also charged with possessing a firearm illegally after he allegedly shot to death Courtlin Arrington at his high school on Wednesday.
Barber and his sister, Makiya, posed for the picture shortly after his apparent release from custody.
‘Out the Big Ole Gate!!!!!,’ Makiya Barber wrote above the image uploaded to Facebook, with ‘Gate’ referring to the Jefferson County District Jail.
‘Y’all can stop the fake friend request now. God still gotta plan for the Kid!,’ she added.
Makiya Barber also stated below the picture in a message exchange with friends that the two went to McDonald’s after his release, with Michael lunching on a ‘Big Mac and Coke.’ Michael Barber can be seen grining in the picture and flashing two peace signs with his hands.
In an earlier post, Makiya appeared to lash out at individuals who were contacting her in the wake of her brother’s arrest.
‘Don’t nothing need to be explained to y’all fake wanna be detectives and news pages (more like gossip sites) the police have footage and facts, so the count down to see my brother is on!,’ she posted to her Facebook wall on Friday.
She added the hashtag #prayersforcourtlinfamily and #prayersforours at the bottom of the post.
Authorities initially investigated the shooting at Huffman High School in Birmingham, Alabama, as accidental before they reviewed the security footage and filed charges.
Jefferson County District Attorney Michael Anderton said in a press statement on Friday that Barber was being charged for bringing ‘a pistol onto the campus of Huffman High School and recklessly causing the death of Miss Arrington.’
Anderton confirmed Barber was charged as an adult even though he is 17-years-old.
