A Vicksburg man was being held without bond in the Issaquena County Corrections Facility accused of shooting a woman and firing shots into homes and cars on Harrison, Grammar and Martha streets during a July 4 drive-by shooting, Vicksburg police Lt. Troy Kimble said.
He said Marcus Wilson, 24, 1300 Harrison St., is charged with aggravated assault and multiple counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling and shooting into an occupied vehicle. He will have an initial appearance Monday in Municipal Court. He was arrested Friday by police in the 1500 block of First North Street on a warrant charging him in the shooting, which occurred the evening of July 4 and wounded a woman who police said was an innocent victim.
Wilson was arrested after police served a search warrant on his home and found weapons and ammunition connected to the shooting. He was not at home when the warrant was served, Kimble said, resulting in the search that led to his arrest. The case remains under investigation and police are looking for other people involved in the shooting.
