The three men were implicated in the March 14 shooting of Marquise Newman, 19, outside his house on 144 Plain Ave.

Newman, who was treated and released from The Medical Center for a wound to his left buttock, told police shortly after the shooting that a black truck driving along Plain Avenue stopped so someone in the truck could talk to his friend.

As Newman walked over to where his friend was standing, he said, someone from inside the truck pulled out a gun and fired two shots.

Proctor is accused of the shooting, using a .44-caliber handgun, according to the indictment. Both he and Duncan remain in Warren County Regional Jail, each under a $50,000 bond; Burton was released March 27 on a $50,000 bond.
