DECATUR, Ga. (AP) - A grand jury in suburban Atlanta has indicted seven men in connection to a robbery spree that ended with the shooting death of man.

Local news media reported Thursday that Jeffery Price, Octavius Johnson, Donovan Harris, Quenterius Brown, Denzel Thomas, Jalin McNease and Andrew Lovett were each named in a 50-count indictment for their involvement in the death of Marcus Wilder.

DeKalb County Police Maj. Steve Fore says the 23-year-old Wilder was killed in December when he walked into his home on intruders and was shot.

Price and Brown were each charged with malice and felony murder. All men are charged with violating Georgia's gang statue while committing the other crimes.

Price, Lovett, Johnson, Brown and McNease are being held without bond at the DeKalb County jail. Thomas and Harrison remain at large.
