Former Group Home Worker Surenders

{Kentucky}...Twenty-one year old Tyler Brock has turned himself in after being charged in the June 12th death of 35 year old Shawn Akridge, who was beaten and kicked at a group home for intellectually disabled adults near Paint Lick in Garrard County. Brock, who is charged with murder and knowingly abusing an adult, is being held in the Lincoln County Detention Center on $500,000 bond. The home, operated by Brentwood, Tenn.-based Community Ties of America, housed three residents but has since closed. Police said Brock initially told them another resident in the home choked Akridge. The other resident was charged, but the charge was dropped after an autopsy revealed Akridge died of internal bleeding and not strangulation.
