Trial date scheduled for suspect in deadly Mexico shooting
LINN COUNTY, Mo. (KMIZ)
A man charged in a deadly 2020 shooting in Mexico, Missouri is expected to head to trial later this year.
The four-day trial for Deyton L. Fisher is scheduled to start in Linn County on Dec. 12 at 9 a.m. Fisher is also scheduled to appear at a court hearing at 9 a.m. Oct. 25.
Fisher's case was previously heard in Audrain County before a change of venue request was approved for Linn County in October 2021.
Prosecutors have charged Fisher with second-degree murder, armed criminal action, and other crimes in the shooting death of 25-year-old Chance Davis. Davis was shot and killed at his home in the 800 block of West Street during a break-in on June 27, 2020.
Fisher was arrested by police in Quincy, Illinois in August 2020. Police also arrested Sadiq Moore and Timothy Midgyett for their alleged roles in the deadly shooting.
Last month, a Randolph County jury found Moore guilty of second-degree murder and other crimes. A judge is expected to sentence Moore on July 20.
An Audrain County judge denied a request from Midgyett to lower his bond at a court hearing Monday.
