A fourth person charged in the killing of Preston Lord has posted bail a month after he asked a judge to reconsider lowering his million-dollar bond.
Dominic Turner, 20, was released from custody on Oct. 5 and placed on electronic monitoring, according to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office.
A Maricopa County Superior Court judge reduced Turner’s bond to $250,000 in September. Judge Bruce Cohen said if Turner posted bail, he would be on house arrest except for appointments with his lawyer.
Turner is one of seven people charged with first-degree murder and kidnapping in connection with the Oct. 28, 2023, fatal group attack on Lord, 16, at a Halloween party in Queen Creek. He and two others face aggravated robbery charges in connection with a necklace that authorities say was taken from Lord’s friend as the attack unfolded.
All of the defendants have pleaded not guilty.
A December investigation by The Arizona Republic detailed how Lord’s death was tied to the “Gilbert Goons,” a gang of teenagers who recorded their blitz-style attacks and shared many of them online.
