Mikey Williams, the elite basketball prospect with millions of followers on social media, pleaded not guilty to multiple charges related to a shooting at his home during a Thursday hearing in San Diego.
Williams, who is set to play for Penny Hardaway and Memphis next season, was arrested last week on charges of assault with deadly weapon in connection with a March 27 shooting outside his home.
According to police, Williams fired a gun at a car full of people who had just left his residence. A search of Williams' home preceded the arrest. «Five people got into a car and as they were driving away, shots were fired,» according to the San Diego County Sheriff's Department incident report. «The car was hit, but no one was hurt.» Williams' attorney, Troy P.
Owens, said the incident unfolded following an «altercation» at Williams' home near San Diego. Williams, ranked 34th in ESPN's 2023 recruiting class, had millions of followers on TikTok and Instagram before he deleted his accounts after his arrest.
