A Warren County man has been indicted in the shooting death of a woman he lived with on Leland Drive.

John David Shoemaker, 63, 617 Kirkland Road, is charged in the indictment with murder in the April 4 shooting death of Sheila Marie Hedrick. The indictment was handed down during the August session of the Warren County grand jury. Shoemaker was arraigned on Sept. 4 in Circuit Court.

According to Warren County Sheriff’s Office reports, emergency services and sheriff’s deputies responding to a call in the 200 block of Leland Drive arrived to find Hedrick, 48, dead with at least one apparent gunshot wound. At the time, Hedrick and Shoemaker lived in the Leland Drive home. Shoemaker was later arrested and initially charged with first-degree murder.

In another case, Marquis Martell Eastman, 30, 1604 Hicks Town, Utica, faces multiple counts involving a Nov. 5, 2021 fire that heavily damaged a home at 1225 Bowmar Ave. that he is accused of setting.

Eastman is charged in the indictment with arson and five counts of aggravated assault-extreme in difference because the house was occupied when he reportedly set the fire. The occupants of the house and a neighboring house were able to escape without injury, according to Vicksburg Fire Department reports.
