The first of the four alleged shooters in a 2017 double homicide is expected to plead guilty Thursday.

Denzel Hill, 26, is facing two counts of murder and single counts of wanton endangerment and tampering with physical evidence from the shooting outside the Washington Street Apartments.

Two 16-year-old girls, Adreanna Castro and Kayla Holland, were killed in the parking lot.

Hill and the three other alleged shooters, Matthew Carmen, Darian Skinner and Ronnie Ellis, all went through the mediation process but not all agreed.

In May, Carmen and Skinner wanted their own trials, and their cases were severed from the others. Ellis also is expected to plead guilty at some point, but there were competency issues to be explored.

Carmen is scheduled to be tried Nov. 7, with Skinner’s on Feb. 17, 2020. Both will be in Clark Circuit Court.

Winchester Police said the shooting stemmed from a verbal altercation earlier in the day which involved the two victims, Hill, Ellis, Skinner and Mikaela Buford.

Later that night, Buford drove Hill, Ellis and Skinner to the apartments at 27 E. Washington. Buford, who previously pleaded guilty, said she picked them up and they were looking for another person. She said she stayed in the car and did not see the shooting.

Witnesses told police they saw Hill, Skinner and Ellis get out of the car, spread out and begin shooting. Carmen is charged with returning fire from the building.

Police said Castro and Holland were leaving an apartment at 27 E. Washington St. and got caught in the crossfire.

Buford pleaded guilty in March to two counts of facilitation to commit murder and one count of complicity to first-degree wanton endangerment. Prosecutors recommended she serve five years for each count of facilitation and one year for complicity. She is also expected to testify against the others at trial.

Buford is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday as well.
