BAY MINETTE, Alabama — Fairhope attorney Rob Stankoski said this morning he will be a conduit for press inquiries and shield the family of Summer Moody, a Baldwin County High School athlete and scholar who was critically injured in an alleged burglary Sunday on Gravine Island in North Baldwin County.

Stankoski said his number one goal is to let the family concentrate on Moody’s recuperation from a gunshot wound to the head, and later assume the role of a defense attorney if she is charged with a criminal offense, or a civil attorney as a victim in the 4 a.m. shooting.

The Baldwin County Sheriff’s Office has upgraded charges to first-degree burglary for three juveniles allegedly involved in a theft plan at a fishing camp on Gravine Island Sunday in which a Moody was critically injured.

The juveniles, all 17, have been charged as adults and removed from juvenile confinement to the Baldwin County Corrections Center, according to Sheriff Huey “Hoss” Mack.

The Baldwin County District Attorney's Office said bail was set at $100,000 this morning for each juvenile. If they make bail, they will be under house arrest and must have no contact with the victim's family.

 The juveniles are Scott Tipton Byrd, of Stapleton, Daniel Parnell, of Bay Minette, and Dillon Wade Tyree, of Stapleton. Moody was with the group and was critically injured by gunfire from the camp occupants when the alleged break-in occurred.

“The press has called her home and camped at the intensive care unit,” Stankoski said. “I am serving as a filter between the media and her. My next responsibility is to find out what happened, and see what charges are filed. The investigation is concentrating on the shooter. Is this a criminal case or a civil case?

 “The parents will have a lot to say at the appropriate time. They are now overwhelmed. I will wait for them to tell me what to do.”

 Mack said noise at 4 a.m. prompted two of the three men in the camp to fire rifles in the darkness at the intruders. One shot hit Moody in the head. She was 15- to 30-feet from the dwelling. She is listed in critical condition at the University of South Alabama Medical Center. Investigators are not sure at this time which rifle delivered the blow or the exact location of the juveniles.

 Stankoski said some media reports indicate the men, who remain unnamed, will not be charged.

 “This is an ongoing investigation and the district attorney and sheriff would never say no charges will be filed until the investigation is complete,” Stankoski said.

Mack said the motive appears to be burglary, and that preliminary evidence indicates the males had broken into at least two other dwellings on the remote island. The juvenile males originally were charged with third-degree burglary. Those charges were upgraded late Tuesday to first-degree burglary, a Class A felony which requires an attempted entrance and possession of a dangerous instrument, District Attorney Hallie Dixon said. No charges have been filed agains the men, but an investigation is continuing, Dixon said.

She said she spent about two hours Tuesday with investigators and Marine Police reviewing the scene. “We are going to attempt to video the settings and scene at night to duplicate the lighting,” Dixon said. “We want to know whether the woman should have been seen. But there is no evidence of a criminal act on the part of the occupants.”

 Mack said Moody’s involvement in the incident is one of the elements being investigated.
