Skyy MimsAn aspiring rapper, model and dancer from Detroit will appear July 18 in Whitfield County Superior Court for her arraignment on murder and armed robbery charges.
Skyy Raven Marie Mims, 21, has been accused of plunging a knife into the back of Dahyabhai Kalidas Chaudhari, a convenience store clerk in Dalton, Ga. After Chaudhari died, according to the Whitfield County Sheriff’s Office, Mims took cash and lottery tickets and ran away.
In addition to murder, the Whitfield County grand jury on Thursday indicted Mims on charges of aggravated assault, armed robbery, burglary, possession of a weapon while committing a crime and bringing stolen property into the state.
Her July arraignment is a hearing in which the judge will read the charges to Mims, and she will have an opportunity to enter a plea.
Conasauga Circuit District Attorney Bert Poston said he could not comment on any of the evidence that led to the charges. Public Defender Brandon Sparks, who represented Mims in the weeks after her arrest, did not return a call seeking comment late Thursday afternoon. It is unclear whether he is still Mims’ attorney.
