(KNSI) – Eighteen-year-old attempted murder suspect Dillon Tilbury appeared in Wright County District Court Tuesday. The Moorhead native will have an omnibus hearing on Tuesday, April 18th.
He is accused of beating and shooting a Monticello man on January 16th near the entrance to Montissippi Park. Police responded around 8:30 p.m. and found 44-year-old Jade Nickels with multiple gunshot wounds and bruises from an assault. He was taken to a Twin Cities hospital for treatment where he was admitted in serious condition.
Wright County Attorney Brian Lutes has released a statement saying, “This level of violence in our community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. I want the public to know this was not a random act of violence but a targeted act aimed at a specific individual.”
Police were able to track Tilbury to a nearby home and used a drone to make sure they were able to enter the garage. Tilbury was discovered hiding inside the trunk of one of the vehicles parked there.
