While charges against all eight individuals stem from discoveries made during the investigation, none have resulted in murder charges being filed in Wichita County, as of the publication of this story. However, like the arrests listed above, the charge against Hunter is connected to Gildon.
According to the arrest affidavit, police executed a search warrant at a residence owned and occupied by Gildon in the 100 block of North Oriole Street.
Police said during the execution of the warrant, they found the residence was surrounded by Blink surveillance cameras. They said they located a Blink Sync Module 2 with a storage device plugged into the USB port.
The affidavit said police seized the module and the storage device and later obtained a search warrant for the storage device, where they said they found over 4,000 saved video recordings from May 2024 alone.
Police said while going through the video files, they came across footage of Hunter, known by the aliases 'BK' and 'Binky', at Gildon's residence with a firearm in his hand.

According to the affidavit, police said they believed the handgun was authentic due to the size, finish, and extended magazine capabilities. They said Hunter and Gildon were fearing retaliation for recent actions and noticed Hunter appeared to be on high alert and using the firearm as a security measure.
The affidavit also said Hunter is a gang member associated with the Kemp Edition Posse.
Police said Hunter is a convicted felon currently on parole until 2029, and that it is a third-degree felony offense for a convicted felon on parole to knowingly possess a firearm.Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

TSA warns of new airport security risk — passengers could wind up in trouble without even knowing
The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Passengers waiting for their flights can often be seen plugging into the free USB power ports that litter airports around the globe these days. But while they might seem like a lifesaver for those low on battery, the Transportation Security Administration is warning against the common activity for a surprising reason. Advertisement 'When you're at an airport do not plug your phone directly into a USB port,' the TSA warned in a PSA on Facebook. Instead of juicing one's device using flight hub re-fueling stations, security officials recommend bringing one's own 'TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack' and plugging in there, per the advisory. ARAMYAN – According to officials, hackers can 'install malware' at USB ports in a trend known as 'juice/port jacking.' Cybercriminals can then ransom your device or steal your passwords. Advertisement Instead of juicing one's device using flight hub re-fueling stations, security officials recommend bringing one's own 'TSA-compliant power brick or battery pack' and plugging in there, per the advisory. TSA officials are echoing warnings by the FBI, FCC, as well as countless techsperts. Unfortunately, compromised portals aren't the only way bad actors can yoink data from one's device. Advertisement Unfortunately there isn't a lot of air-port security. Getty Images The TSA also warned against using free public WiFi, especially when making purchases or otherwise entering sensitive information. As the cybersecurity experts at Norton point out, unencrypted hotspots 'transmit data in plain text, making them vulnerable to cybercriminals with the right tools.' Advertisement 'Hackers on the same network can intercept your online activities, including banking information, login credentials, and personal messages,' they wrote. And unfortunately, juice port jackers aren't the only bad actors preying on unsuspecting travelers. In April, Argentine flight attendant Barbara Bacilieri claimed that thieves are purchasing cheap tickets to access the concourse areas — allowing them to steal from both passengers and duty-free shops without actually having to board a plane. Some airport burglars even use sophisticated scanners to siphon data from passengers' credit cards as they brush by them. This surreptitious card swiping often flies under the radar until days later, when said card's owner spots an unauthorized transaction (often in a foreign country), making this crime extremely difficult to prevent.
