A Jackson man is facing multiple felony charges in connection with a deadly shooting last year in Summit Township.
Jackson County Prosecutor Kelsey Guernsey says 24-year-old Dion Jamel Flowers Jr. was arraigned Monday on charges of open murder, three counts of assault with intent to murder, and felony firearm. He’s also charged as a fourth habitual offender.
The charges stem from a shooting shortly after midnight on May 17th of last year in Summit Township. One person was killed and three others were injured.
Flowers is one of three people charged in the case. The other defendants, Tyrek Traquan Rice and Montez Martees White, are currently being held without bond as they await their preliminary examinations.
Flowers is also being held in the Jackson County Jail without bond. He’s scheduled to appear before Judge Allison Bates March 20th for a probable cause conference.
Authorities say the charges are allegations and the defendant is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in court.
