2 accused of attempted murder among 72 grand jury indictments

Albert O'Brien "Dirty" Dewalt, 25, 909 Fair St., and Kenyatuah Antwane "YaYa" Harris, 34, 1375 Cumberland Ave., face charges of attempted first-degree premeditated murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

They allegedly conspired to shoot the woman and, on July 11, did shoot her several times. She called the Dyer County Sheriff's Department from her car, which was in a ditch on Bean Mill Road. She was airlifted to The Regional Medical Center in Memphis.
