Newark Man Gets Life Sentence for 2021 Murder of Dmajah Tickles

A 39-year-old Newark resident will spend the rest of his life behind bars for the deadly shooting of Dmajah Tickles three years ago.

Tramont Mitchell received his sentence of life imprisonment plus an additional 50 years on February 13th, according to the Delaware Department of Justice.

The lengthy prison term comes after a Superior Court jury found Mitchell guilty in 2024 on multiple charges, including First Degree Murder and Possession of a Firearm During the Commission of a Felony in connection with Tickles’ death.

The fatal shooting occurred in 2021, leading to the criminal case that concluded with Mitchell’s conviction last year.
