MIAMI – Two West Palm Beach residents have been convicted of firearms offenses following a shooting at the Palm Beach Gardens Mall on Valentine’s Day.
Kamarcio Mitchell, 29, pled guilty to possession of a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon, and possession with intent to distribute fentanyl.
On Feb. 14, Mitchell was at The Gardens Mall in possession of a firearm. He was shot by Devon Jamal Graham and fled the mall to the parking lot, leaving a trail of blood. A loaded firearm that had been disassembled was found in the parking lot by police, near the blood trail.
Mitchell was later treated for his injury at a local hospital. Upon his later arrest on a federal warrant, authorities discovered Mitchell in possession of a distribution quantity of fentanyl after he unsuccessfully tried to toss the drugs.
Mitchell’s sentencing hearing is scheduled for Nov. 21, at 9:30 a.m., before U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon in Fort Pierce. He faces a mandatory minimum sentence of 15 years to a maximum sentence of life in prison.
The case is part of Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN), a program bringing together all levels of law enforcement and the communities they serve to reduce gun violence and other violent crime.
Assistant United States Attorneys John McMillan and Shannon O’Shea Darsch are prosecuting the case.
