Just shy of four months after Benjamin Villanueva III was found guilty for the 2023 shooting death of 39-year-old Jermaine Derick Mullen, a second man has been ordered to stand trial for the killing.

Davon Tamel Grissom, 38, will face charges of second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit robbery, robbery and kidnapping, Lycoming County District Judge Christian Frey ruled, following a preliminary hearing Thursday morning.

Charges of unlawful restraint, false imprisonment and criminal use of a communication facility were dismissed as the two year statute of limitations has passed, and a charge of illegal possession of a firearm was dismissed as no evidence was presented.

In January 2026, Villanueva was found guilty of criminal homicide, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, tampering with or fabricating physical evidence and carrying a firearm without a license for carrying out the murder of Mullen in the early morning hours of Dec. 9, 2023.

The charges against Grissom were filed roughly a month after Villanueva’s conviction.
