Ex-San Ysidro High School basketball star Mikey Williams was ordered Tuesday to stand trial on charges of assault with a firearm and shooting at an occupied vehicle for allegedly opening fire on a group of people in a car outside his Jamul home.
Williams faces up to 28 years in state prison if convicted of all current charges, though Deputy District Attorney George Modlin suggested after the hearing that additional charges could be forthcoming.According to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department, gunfire erupted just before midnight following an argument"about guests in the house being asked to leave."
Modlin argued any self-defense claims were"quite laughable" and argued the girl in question posed no threat to the dog, described by one witness as a pitbull. The prosecutor also said there was tenuous evidence to show a dog was at the home at all on the night of the shooting.
