Mixon's residence was surrounded by crime tape Monday night and a search warrant was executed by police. Though one vehicle containing Mixon's lawyers arrived at the residence that night, it is unclear whether Mixon was home when authorities entered the residence.
On Wednesday, audio from a police dispatch mentioned that a "male with a gun" was spotted leaving the scene in a Jeep, with two other vehicles also speeding away.
“Witnessed several males and females running at this location. Couldn’t get a description. One of them pulled out a gun, ran toward the back of a building. Several shots were heard. A male with a gun was seen running, getting into a Jeep. He’s currently still on scene. Two other vehicles are involved … They fled at a high rate of speed.”
