CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Two men have been indicted on charges in the killing of a 2-year-old boy and attempted killings of three other people.

Media outlets report a Montgomery County grand jury indicted 24-year-old David Wi and 21-year-old Zackery Alexander Tuesday on numerous charges, including premeditated first-degree murder and three counts of attempted first-degree premeditated murder.

Court documents say Wi and Alexander are accused of conspiring to kill Wi's stepson, Joseph Bankston, who was fatally shot by Alexander Oct. 4 at a Clarksville home. They're also accused of attempting to kill Alicia Bankston, Wi's ex-wife; Lilly Wi, their daughter; and Brandon Jimenez, Alicia Bankston's boyfriend.

Arrest warrants say Wi was involved in a custody dispute with Alicia Bankston and had life insurance policies on the toddler, his estranged wife and Lilly Wi.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — J. Cole, Tool and Stevie Nicks will headline this year's Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival, which is set to return after a two-year hiatus because of the pandemic and weather. 

The lineup for the June 16-19 festival in Manchester, Tennessee, was released Tuesday and also includes The Chicks, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, 21 Savage, Machine Gun Kelly, Roddy Ricch, Flume and Illenium. 

Last year's festival was set to go on with extra COVID-19 precautions in place for fans, but heavy rains from Hurricane Ida left the grounds unsafe for driving or camping. The festival takes place on a former farm in rural Tennessee about an hour southeast of Nashville. Tickets go on sale Thursday. 

The 2020 festival was postponed to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Other artists on the lineup include Bleachers, Lord Huron, Disclosure, The War on Drugs, Billy Strings, Porter Robinson, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats and Herbie Hancock.
