BALDWIN COUNTY, Ala. (WALA) - Now that all of the names of the adults involved in the Gravine Island shooting have been released, we're learning more about them.

Guarded

A pit bull and no trespassing sign adorned the lawn at Lonnie Davison's home in Theodore Saturday.

Neighbors, who didn't want to talk on camera, said Davison grew up in the neighborhood. They'd also heard he was one of the three adults on the island when Summer Moody was shot in the head last week.
 
Court records show Davison has had several charges over the years, including theft of property.

We first told you about William "Nick" Hearn of Semmes earlier in the week.

He also has a criminal background that includes a 2010 arrest in Mobile County on a fugitive from justice charge.

He has already hired a lawyer.  

"All these men feel horrible for what's happened. Just the situation that they were in and you always go back and ask the question what would you do if somebody's doing this to you and your property, or anything else, and their intent was obviously never to injure anybody," Attorney Thomas Dasinger said.

The third adult also has a criminal past. According to online court records, Larry Dean Duncan, Jr. has previously faced drug charges.
 
No charges have been filed against the adults.

Few answers, numerous consequences

The three teens who were with Summer Moody are facing first-degree burglary charges as adults.

Police said, two of the men fired 'warning shots' on the island after overhearing the teens allegedly breaking into a fishing camp on the island. Summer Moody was hit in the back of the head.

In the meantime, the wounded teenager continues to fight for her life in the hospital. 

Doctors say she has a less than one percent chance of survival.
