CAMDEN -- An 18-year-old city man who was 17 at the time of a fatal shooting he is accused of playing a role in was waived to adult court during a hearing on Thursday.
Daikwon Alford appeared in court on a first-degree murder charge and two counts of attempted murder.
According to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office, Alford and a co-defendant are accused of allegedly killing 18-year-old Tyimer Q. Bright, of Camden, and wounding two juvenile females on April 5 during a shooting outside a party on the 2800 block of Crescent Boulevard in Haddon Township.

The female victims, a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old, both Camden residents, later recovered from their injuries. Alford was detained on April 22 following an interview at the prosecutor's office. He was charged the next day, authorities said.
Alford's codefendant, a 15-year-old male from Camden, had a warrant for his arrest issued on April 23. He later surrendered to detectives at the prosecutor's office on April 28 and is awaiting a waiver hearing that will determine whether he too will be tried as an adult.
Alford was arraigned Friday afternoon before Superior Court Judge Edward J. McBride Jr., with bail being set at $1 million cash or bond.
