CHARLESTON, SC (CNN) (AP) (WCSC) (WISTV) (WBTV) —The 21-year-old man accused of shooting nine people at a historic downtown Charleston church Wednesday night will have a bond hearing at 2 p.m. Friday.

Dylann Roof is now locked up at the Al Cannon Detention Center following his extradition from North Carolina.

He is charged with 9 counts of murder.

Charleston County Sheriff’s Office officials said Roof will be held in isolation at the detention center.

Attorneys said Roof waived extradition in a Cleveland County courtroom in North Carolina Thursday afternoon.

Who are the victims?

A librarian and a recent college graduate are among the nine people killed.

Also among the nine victims is State Sen. Clementa Pinckney, the pastor of Emanuel African Methodist Church.

Charleston County Coroner Rae Wooten said Thursday the others have been identified as Cynthia Hurd, 54; Tywanza Sanders, 26; Sharonda Singleton; Myra Thompson, 59; Ethel Lance, 70; Susie Jackson, 87; the Rev. Daniel Simmons Sr.; and DePayne Doctor.
