Travis Eugene Posey, a man accused in a mass shooting that happened at Fordyce’s Mad Butcher Grocery Store in June, appeared in court via Zoom on Wednesday. Posey is charged with killing four people and injuring eleven others.
He joined the video hearing from the Ouachita County Detention Center. Among the attorneys and law enforcement present at the hearing, were family members of the victims.
Posey is facing four counts of capital murder and 11 counts of attempted capital murder. Each of the 15 counts is a class Y felony, with the attempted capital murder charges carrying a possible sentence of 10 years to up to life in prison. If Posey were to be convicted on any of the capital murder charges, he would face either life without the possibility of parole or the death penalty.
Records show Posey has been assigned a public defender and his first court appearance was made on June 25. After entering a plea of not guilty, Posey is being held without bond in the Ouachita County Detention Center.
The next hearing date is set for October 11th.
