Bond was denied Friday for two mothers and three others involved in the March 18 Augusta-area brawl that resulted in the fatal stabbing of 18-year-old DeMahjay Bell, according to the Augusta Chronicle.

Judge Albert M. Pickett denied bond for Eyvette L. Byrd, 39, and Quianna Henley, 35, the two mothers charged in the brawl, the Chronicle reported Friday.

The judge set $75,000 bond for Henley’s daughter, Quiasha Henley, 18; Tyteanna L. Thomas, 18; Myah T. Dunbar, 18; and A’Lexis N. Cain, 18, who were recording the fighting on cell phone cameras. A $50,000 bond was also set for Raheem M. Jobes, 19, who is seen on the videos pulling people apart during the fight, the paper said.

Those out on bond must adhere to stiff conditions imposed by the judge: no social media, Internet access or use of any electronic device. The bond also imposes a 6:30 p.m. curfew unless working or in school; no drugs or alcohol; and no possible contact with any firearm.

A 10th suspect was arrested Thursday, and Eddie Carter III, 18, still remains at large.
