Two men are facing a long list of charges following a shooting last fall that resulted in a 16-year-old girl losing an eye.

Police responded to a shooting at 160 Chalkfarm Dr. back on Nov. 17, 2007. When they arrived at the scene they found the teenage victim suffering from bullet wounds to the hands and face.

Injuries to the girl’s face were so severe doctors had to remove one of her eyes.

Shortly after the shocking crime authorities issued arrest warrants for two 24-year-old suspects and nearly seven months later investigators managed to track down and arrest the pair.

Jamie Dixon (top left) and Deuvane Francis (right) are facing a combined 24 charges, including attempted murder, forcible confinement and disguise with intent. Both men appeared in court Tuesday.
