City teen to face trial in September for shooting

Published 12:13 am Saturday, November 10, 2012

A Vicksburg teen accused of shooting a car near Vicksburg High School will stand trial in September.

Demario Mixon, 18, 911 Locust St., appeared before Circuit Court Judge Isadore Patrick Friday to be arraigned after an indictment by the Warren County grand jury for drive-by shooting, attempted aggravated assault with extreme indifference and shooting at a motor vehicle. Patrick set trial for Sept. 16.

Mixon is accused of shooting three times into a Honda Pilot near Stadium Drive and Drummond Street Aug. 19, according to court records. Seven people were in the vehicle at the time of the shooting, and one of the passengers told police that Mixon had previously been in a fight with another passenger, according to an interview transcript.
