will be forwarded to a grand jury for indictment consideration, but a Jefferson County judge said she is not yet sure what that charge will be.
Ross’s public defender, Sammie Shaw, contended his client was there seeking work, and there is no evidence a robbery was planned or took place. Among new details unveiled in Tuesday’s preliminary hearing was that moments before and after Lalum’s slaying were caught on camera and that Hoffman was heard saying to suspect Ross, “I had to pop him.”Testimony showed the ordeal began when a group of Lulum’s employees were at the nearby Circle K before going to the warehouse, which is on Walter Davis Drive in south Birmingham.
South Precinct officers were dispatched at 5:15 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 24.2023, to Insta Movers at 115 Walter Davis Drive.
