MEMPHIS, Tenn. — A murder suspect’s bond was set to $1 million Tuesday days after a deadly shooting in northeast Memphis.
Dartagnan Lee is accused of killing two people and leaving two others hurt after a shooting at the Stella Apartments on Jan. 29.
One victim’s mother left the courtroom, after shouting profanity at Lee, who she accused of killing her son. “That’s my son … that you killed,” she said. (Video below)

Emotions were high for the victims’ families and Lee’s girlfriend in Judge Christian Johnson’s courtroom Tuesday, as parties debated what would be a reasonable bond for Lee.
Lee’s attorney Brandon Hall wanted his bond to be $125,000.
“In this case, Mr. Lee has no record. He has no convictions for misdemeanors or felonies,” Hall said.
However, the division leader, Carla Taylor, was not buying it. She says Lee is a complete danger to the community and his bond should be $3 million.
“If he can let out 31 rounds and kill two people, attempted to kill two others who are still in the hospital. The risk of nonappearance is a great risk when you are facing two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder,” Taylor said.
