Jury finds woman guilty of murder after Xenia gunshot victim dies 8 months later

Prosecutors said Dixon and a number of others got into a fight at a bar in Xenia before everyone left the bar. Dixon went to her cousin’s home in the 400 block of Franklin Avenue in Xenia. About 90 minutes later, during the early morning hours of May 5, 2018, Nooks and others arrived on Franklin Avenue.

During an argument outside, Dixon reportedly got a gun from a vehicle and shot Nooks in the center of his neck. Nooks was taken to Miami Valley Hospital, where he received life-saving emergency care. He was diagnosed with quadriplegia, paralyzed from the neck down. He continued to receive care at several facilities until on Jan. 17, 2019, he died of the injuries he suffered as a result of the gunshot, according to a release from the Greene County Prosecutor’s Office.

“The guilty verdicts in this case send a message that senseless gun violence will not be tolerated,” Greene County Prosecutor David Hayes said. “It has been a long time coming, but today the family of Andre Nooks received some small measure of justice for what Talicia Dixon did on May 5, 2018.”
