The four people charged in the shooting death of 24-year-old Darrell Dionte Council in November have had additional charges filed in the case.
Montise Arman Mitchell, 24; Shanika Nicole Mitchell, 17; D’Nazya Sade Downing, 20, and Christopher James Baldwin, 25, have each already been charged with first degree murder in the shooting that occurred at the intersection of Twisted Hickory Road and Center Road near Dublin about 8:30 p.m. on Nov. 8. The additional charges announced this week include attempted first degree murder, discharge a firearm into an occupied conveyance in operation and two counts of felony conspiracy to commit murder.
Montise Mitchell appeared Tuesday morning in Bladen County Superior Court to hear the additional charges. Downing and Baldwin were read the charges Monday. Shanika Mitchell, who is Montise Mitchell’s sister, is expected to be read the charges Wednesday.
Council was shot while he and his brother were sitting in a vehicle at the intersection, according to the Bladen County Sheriff’s Office. Two men approached the vehicle and started shooting, investigators said. Council attempted to drive away from the scene and crashed into a ditch. His brother was not injured and left the vehicle to get help.
