Court records show all five suspects charged in the shooting death of a former Mississippi college football player, Idarrious Iantron “D.D.” Bowie, pleaded not guilty June 9 during their initial court appearance in Rankin County.
Ladarious J. Harrison, 18, Dominick Sanabria, 19, Semiko Crump, 46, Kaylee Trimble, 18, and Michael Mitchell, 19, all face charges in the June 5 shooting death of Bowie, 27, of Lena.
Harrison and Sanabria both face a murder charge. Crump, Trimble and Mitchell face an accessory after the fact of murder charge.
Not guilty pleas have been entered into court records for all five suspects.
Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey said Bowie was shot multiple times in the front yard of a residence in the 100 block of Adams Road. Bowie later died from his injuries.
According to previous Clarion Ledger reporting, Bowie was a former four-star wide receiver and MHSAA’s Mr. Football 3A who played a big part in Morton’s success as a quarterback and wide receiver. Bowie was a 2016 Dandy Dozen player.
Originally signing with Ole Miss as its top prospect, Bowie left the Rebels for personal reasons in 2018 and then signed with Northeast Mississippi Community College. For the 2019 football season, Bowie joined Jackson State University as a wide receiver.
Court documents state Sanabria and Harrison got into a verbal argument with Bowie which led to the shooting.
Below are more details regarding what each suspect is accused of related to the murder:
Ladarious James Harrison, 18
Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow denied bond for Harrison, who is accused of shooting Bowie multiple times while in the front yard of the home on Adams Road. If convicted, Harrison faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
At the time of shooting, court records state Harrison was on bond for an attempted murder charge for a 2025 shooting in Rankin County. His bond conditions required GPS monitoring.
Court records reveal investigators obtained GPS records which show Harrison “was at the location during the time of the shooting.”
“During an interview with Harrison, he stated that he heard a gunshot and then took off running. He denied any involvement in the death of Idarrious Iantron Bowie,” court records state.
Dominick Delricco Sanabria, 19
Judge Morrow denied bond for Sanabria, who is also accused of shooting Bowie multiple times while in the front yard of the Adams Road home. If convicted, Sanabria faces a maximum sentence of life in prison.
According to court records, Sanabria surrendered himself at the Rankin County Sheriff’s Department.
Court documents state while being interviewed, Sanabria said he and other individuals traveled to Adams Road. Upon arrival, a verbal altercation occurred.
Sanabria told investigators he did have a gun on him during the argument but “did not intend to use the firearm.”
“But when the altercation escalated, (Sanabria) and Bowie were fighting over control of the gun when it discharged wounding Bowie,” the court filing states.
After the initial discharge of the gun, Sanabria told investigators, “Bowie began running away at which time Harrison fired multiple rounds striking the victim.”
Semiko Nakuna Crump, 46
Judge Morrow denied bond for Crump, who is accused of assisting Harrison and Sanabria “knowing they had feloniously shot another person with the intent to enable them to avoid arrest.”
Court records state a Toyota Camry, used to transport the suspects to the crime scene, later arrived at a residence on Cherry Bark Drive in Brandon. Investigators said at the residence, Crump came out of the garage.
Court filings state Crump allowed men to enter the residence through the garage “at which time she begins looking down the street as if she is filling the role of a lookout.”
At some point later, the Toyota Camry leaves the residence.
“Crump continues her lookout behavior for several minutes which is evidenced by her walking back and forth from the front of the residence toward the roadway and looking down the street,” court records state.
During the time of the shooting, Crump was out on felony bond for trafficking-controlled substances in a correctional facility.
If convicted, Crump faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Kaylee Dewanna Trimble, 18
Judge Morrow set Trimble’s bond at $500,000. Trimble, the daughter of Crump, had no previous criminal history.
Trimble was required to wear a GPS monitor and have no contact with the victim’s family or co-defendants.
Trimble is accused of assisting Harrison and Sanabria “knowing they had feloniously shot another person with the intent to enable them to avoid arrest.”
“During an interview with Kaylee Trimble, she stated that Dominick Delricco Sanabria came to her house and stated that he was robbed and believed he was shot in the leg. She stated that they then left the residence and went to an address in Jackson, MS,” court records state. “Trimble was taken into custody at this time.”
After that statement, investigators went to the Rankin County Jail and photographed Sanabria’s leg.
Court documents state investigators “noticed red marks that Sanabria stated that he sustained during a struggle over the firearm with Bowie.”
If convicted, Trimble faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
Michael Jerome Mitchell, 19
Judge Morrow set Mitchell’s bond at $500,000. Mitchell was also required to wear a GPS monitor and have no contact with the victim’s family or co-defendants.
According to investigators, witnesses told authorities during interviews that Mitchell was at the scene of the shooting.
Mitchell is accused of assisting Harrison and Sanabria “knowing they had feloniously shot another person with the intent to enable them to avoid arrest.”
Investigators said they were unable to find Mitchell and the Toyota Camry used to transport the suspects to the crime scene, the vehicle’s tag was listed on a “hot list as being a wanted subject.”
Court documents state officers with the Flowood Police Department located the Toyota Camry on June 6, “being driven by Michael Mitchell.”
The vehicle was towed to the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, and Mitchell was taken into custody and transported to the Rankin County Adult Detention Center.
If convicted, Mitchell faces a maximum of 20 years in prison.
