MONTICELLO (WJON News) -- A Moorhead man has been formally charged for his role in a shooting in Monticello Monday.
Eighteen-year-old Dillon Tilbury was charged with attempted 2nd degree intentional murder and 1st degree assault for the shooting at the compost site adjacent from Montissippi Park.
According to the criminal complaint, witnesses told police Tilbury and the victim, 44-year-old Jade Nickels got into a physical altercation, when Nickels was shot. Tilbury then fled the scene before officers arrived.
