In a recent court session, Tizee Boykin faced charges including simple assault, firearms discharge, and reckless conduct stemming from an incident on June 15, 2021. Represented by attorney Taz Taylor, Boykin initially considered a plea deal but ultimately opted to plead not guilty to all charges.
The court proceedings revealed that the charges arose from a confrontation involving Boykin and his live-in girlfriend, Alexis Dorsey. During the altercation, Dorsey's sister, Kenisha, intervened, leading to Boykin allegedly discharging a nine-millimeter firearm into the air multiple times. In response, Kenisha reportedly fired her own weapon in self-defense.
The prosecution recommended a sentence of twelve months, with 90 days to be served in custody, followed by probation, along with a requirement for Boykin to complete a gun safety course and forfeit his firearm. However, after consulting with his attorney, Boykin declined the plea offer and maintained his not guilty stance.
The court indicated that if the defense continues with the not guilty plea, efforts will be made to schedule the trial as soon as possible. The case highlights ongoing concerns regarding firearm-related incidents and domestic disputes, underscoring the complexities of legal proceedings in such matters.
