Fairview man bound over for trial on assault, weapons charges


A Fairview man was bound over for trial on multiple felony charges after waiving his preliminary hearing in Newton County Circuit Court.

The arraignment for Tyler Koeda Millokin (DOB 1995) in trial court on charges of first-degree assault, unlawful use of a weapon, armed criminal action and unlawful possession of a firearm will be held 9 a.m. September 28 before Judge Charles Spencer Genisio.

From the probable cause statement:

On April 27, 2026, law enforcement responded to a report of shots fired at or near Fairview, Newton County, Missouri.

Upon arrival, witnesses reported hearing approximately three gunshots coming from the area of that residence. One witness described a black or dark-colored sedan arriving immediately prior to the gunshots and then fleeing the scene.








Law enforcement was later contacted by W1, who reported that Tyler Milliken shot V1 during an altercation at that location.

Officers subsequently located V1 in Webb City, Missouri. V1 reported that he had been shot in the arm.

Deputies made contact with Tyler Milliken at or near 203 South Estes Avenue where he lives. Milliken denied involvement in the incident.








While on scene, deputies observed physical evidence consistent with a shooting, including a spent shell casing located in the front lawn of the residence, as well as broken glass and tire tracks consistent with a vehicle leaving the area abruptly.

Criminal History reveals that Tyler Milliken was previously found guilty of felony possession of a controlled substance in Newton County, Missouri, on June 25, 2018, making it unlawful for him to possess a firearm.


The case was investigated by the Newton County Sheriff's Office.
