A 14-year-old girl accused of killing her mother has been released from the Pike County jail, a sheriff’s investigator confirmed.
Following a preliminary hearing on March 5, Judge Bryan Harbour reduced Amariyona Hall’s bond from $150,000 to $100,000.
Chief Investigator Chris Bell said $10,000 of Hall’s $100,000 bond has been posted and she is no longer in jail, where had been held in isolation because of her age.
Deputies arrested Hall and her 12-year-old sister for allegedly shooting and stabbing their mother, Ericka Hall, 32, to death on the night of Jan. 4.
Amariyona Hall is being charged as an adult, while the 12-year-old is being charged as a juvenile.
The 12-year-old, who was being held in a juvenile detention facility following her arrest, has also been released and is staying with the girls’ father, Eddie Isaac, at his house on 24th Street in McComb. He said at the hearing last week that he wanted Amariyona to be able to come stay with him, too.
