Published 7:52 pm Tuesday, April 9, 2019
The Warren County grand jury has handed down separate and unrelated indictments against a Vicksburg man charging him with murder in one and attempted aggravated assault-extreme indifference in the other.
The first indictment charges James Robert Reynolds, 31, 1501 Military Ave., with murder in the Jan. 20, 2018, shooting death of Eddie Burns, whose body was found Jan. 21 in a grassy area between railroad tracks and Bonelli Street. Reynolds was arrested Jan. 24 and charged in the death.
Reynolds is accused of shooting Burns in the head and taking $5 and a pair of Nike athletic shoes from him.
The second indictment charges Reynolds with one count of attempted aggravated assault-extreme indifference and one count of possession of a weapon after felony conviction.
Reynolds is accused in the indictment of shooting at an occupied car Jan. 19, 2018, while the car was at the Top Five Store, 1108 Bowmar Ave. In both indictments, Reynolds is charged as a habitual offender because he has two prior felony convictions.
In another case, Tony D. Smoots, 20, 502 Farmer’s St., was indicted on a charge of aggravated assault-extreme indifference in a June 2, 2018, shooting that occurred at the K&B Lounge off U.S. 80.
Smoots is accused of wounding one person during the shooting. He was arrested with two other people after they drove up the bar and witnesses identified the car to sheriff’s deputies as the one used in the shooting. Deputies later found two semiautomatic handguns in the car. Other indictments include:
