JACKSONVILLE, Fla.<\/strong> \u2013 A man was found guilty in the shooting death of two men who were found killed inside a Fort Caroline Road apartment in 2023.<\/p>\n

Days after the deadly March 1, 2023, shooting, Darien Mixson was arrested and charged<\/a> with two counts of first-degree murder, armed burglary and grand theft.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, a jury found Mixson guilty on all counts.<\/p>\n

The Jacksonville Sheriff\u2019s Office said a witness inside the apartment called 911, and a family member told News4JAX when police arrived they found a man, identified by family as Craivon Aiken<\/a>, and another man dead.<\/p>\n

Craig Aiken told News4JAX back in 2023 that since he found out that his son Craivon was killed, the days have been cloudy and he\u2019s had a hard time dealing with reality. He said it\u2019s hard knowing that one of his children is no longer with him, especially since just a few years before his son\u2019s death, he was reunited with his daughter Kamiyah Mobley, 18 years after she was kidnapped from a Jacksonville hospital right after her birth in 1998<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Craig Aiken said Craivon Aiken was the youngest of eight children and left behind two of his own.<\/p>\n

Aiken\u2019s father said the two victims were best friends who grew up together as well.<\/p>\n

Mixson is set to be sentenced on April 27.<\/p>\n
