In the early hours of a cold Wednesday morning in Huntsville, Alabama, on January 24, 2018, the life of 19-year-old Dimitrick Mims Jr. was tragically cut short. Around 2 a.m., Huntsville Police responded to a call of a shooting at 3015 Tucker Drive. Upon arrival, they discovered Mims suffering from a gunshot wound.
The initial investigation into the death of the young man quickly pointed towards a potential suspect.
Investigators identified 27-year-old Sateaus Dejuan Wilson as the individual possibly involved in the shooting. Details about the suspect were not immediately released to the public as law enforcement, including U.S. Marshals, believed Wilson might be a flight risk.
A warrant for Wilson's arrest was obtained on January 25, 2018. In a turn of events, investigators were able to make contact with Wilson's family, who convinced him to surrender to the authorities. Sateaus Dejuan Wilson turned himself in peacefully and without incident. Information regarding the motive for the shooting, the specifics of the legal proceedings against Wilson, including his trial and the outcome of the case, have not been made publicly available in online sources. There is also no information available regarding the ethnicity of Dimitrick Mims Jr.
