Vicksburg man arrested for Elizabeth Circle shooting

A Vicksburg man has been arrested and charged in connection with a shooting on Elizabeth Circle earlier this week.

Officials with Vicksburg Police Department (VPD) said 17-year-old Jaylen Demarcus Moore was taken into custody Thursday and charged with aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit a crime.

VPD initially responded to a call of shots fired Sunday at 5:09 p.m. in the Elizabeth Circle area, where witnesses said three Black males shot at another Black male in an open area behind homes located on the street.

No injuries were reported and no other arrests have been made in relation to the incident, although VPD says additional arrests are anticipated.

Moore appeared before Judge Angela Carpenter in Vicksburg Municipal Court Friday, where his bond was set at $150,000 and he was bound over to the Warren County Grand Jury.
