Lyons was indicted Sept. 10 for first-degree murder, armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

Previous reports stated that ten years ago Deere, 55, of Lincoln County was shot three times outside of his convenience store, Pik & Pak, on Highway 51 in Brookhaven. The case has been under investigation since.

In Friday’s Lincoln County Sheriff’s Department press release, Sheriff Steve Rushing stated that Lyons was served his indictment by LCSD investigators along with the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation at the Harris County Texas Jail where he is being held on unrelated charges.

Lyons will be returned on detainer to Lincoln County at a future date.
