JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A man was found guilty in the shooting death of two men who were found killed inside a Fort Caroline Road apartment in 2023.
Days after the deadly March 1, 2023, shooting, Darien Mixson was arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, armed burglary and grand theft.

On Wednesday, a jury found Mixson guilty on all counts.
The Jacksonville Sheriff’s 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, and another man dead.
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’s had a hard time dealing with reality. He said it’s hard knowing that one of his children is no longer with him, especially since just a few years before his son’s 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.
Craig Aiken said Craivon Aiken was the youngest of eight children and left behind two of his own.
Aiken’s father said the two victims were best friends who grew up together as well.
Mixson is set to be sentenced on April 27.
