MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) — Thomas Zollicoffer, the man accused of killing three people in two shootings on Aug. 8, appeared in court for a preliminary hearing today. So did his two alleged accomplices.

His cousin Elana Cole allegedly housed him for about three days before police arrested him there, and Sengchanh Phengphonsavanh drove the suspected killer from one shooting scene to the next.

Families of the victims, Vanessa Deherrera and Scott Bucholz, were in court on Monday, Aug. 24. Scott's mom was in tears, and Vanessa's mom told CBS 58 she feels mad. Both mothers had shirts with their child's faces on them.

Zollicoffer faces seven felonies, including three counts of first-degree intentional homicide and four counts of possession of a firearm by a felon, for the murders of his ex-girlfriend, Vanessa Deherrera, and her friend, Scott Bucholz, near 21st and Pierce on Sat. Aug. 8.

He was reportedly taken by his friend of four months, Phengphonsavanh, to Zollicoffer's father's house. According to a criminal complaint, he instead went into the home of Shamarla 'Asir' Hare, whom he shot.

The driver is charged with harboring or aiding a felon, as is Zollicoffer's cousin, Cole, who according to a complaint, allowed him to stay with her. That's where he was eventually arrested, following a standoff with police. Cole also faces three counts of child neglect for allegedly leaving her three minor children in Zollicoffer's care 'multiple times,' despite knowing what he was accused of.

Cole's next date in court is Sept. 29.

If guilty, Cole could face 12 years behind bars. Phengphonsavanh could face 10 years, and Zollicoffer could face three life sentences plus 40 years.
