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.<\/p>

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

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.<\/p>

The fatal shooting occurred in 2021, leading to the criminal case that concluded with Mitchell’s conviction last year.<\/p>\n\n\n
