A Vicksburg teen has been indicted on charges of armed carjacking and possession of a stolen firearm.

The indictment handed down during the October session of the Warren County grand jury accuses Devonta Deon Harris, 17, 215 Enchanted Drive, of the reported Aug. 5 attempted carjacking of a 2016 Dodge Ram pickup in the area of Wisconsin Avenue and Fleur-de-Lis Drive.

According to Vicksburg police reports, Harris and another teen attempted to steal the truck at gunpoint from its owner but when the intended victim tried to take the gun away, the teens ran off. They were later discovered behind the Parkwood South Apartments. The other teen was not charged.

Harris is out on bond, jail records show. The gun used in the attempted carjacking was reported stolen from a home in the 100 block of Signal Hill Drive, police said.
