A Vicksburg man will serve six years in prison after pleading guilty in Warren County Circuit Court to manslaughter in the 2012 shooting death of another man.

Judge M. James Chaney sentenced Tamares Ladell Dillon, 35, to a total of 20 years in prison with six years to serve and 14 years suspended.

Dillon was also ordered to five years post-release supervision and ordered to pay $1,384.50 in court costs fines and fees.

Dillon was one of two men charged in the Nov. 4, 2012, shooting death of Mardy Blackmore, 28, at the Vanguard Apartments and dumping his body behind the apartment complex. Blackmore’s body was found by an apartment resident who called police.

Dillon was initially charged with murder in the case. The second man, Christopher Glen Polk, was also charged with murder, but was indicted as an accessory after the fact, District Attorney Ricky Smith said. He said Polk’s case is still pending.
