Murray found guilty of 2019 drive-by shooting

Nicholas Rashad Murray was found guilty on Wednesday of a drive-by shooting and will face a sentence of up to 30 years.

On Feb. 6, 2019, Vicksburg police responded to the 100 block of Enchanted Drive in reference to a shooting.

According to the homeowner, gunfire woke them up and one suspect had entered the home.

The jury returned a verdict of not guilty for shooting at the home but guilty of drive-by shooting. Murray will face sentencing on Oct. 13 and faces up to 30 years.

“I was very satisfied with the verdict of the jury. The victims in the case were also satisfied. Hopefully, this brings closure to them and they can move forward,” said Assistant District Attorney Branan Southerland.

Three individuals in total were indicted, Latrell Ward and Hewitt Mitchell will face trial at a later date.

Southerland and Liam Walker prosecuted the case.
