SUMMARY: Darian Atkinson, accused of killing Biloxi Police Officer Robert McKeithen in 2019, has been deemed incompetent to stand trial. Following a competency hearing, doctors from the Mississippi State Hospital testified that Atkinson suffers from severe schizophrenia, including paranoia, delusions, and cognitive dysfunction. Despite receiving treatment since March 2023, Atkinson’s symptoms persist, preventing him from understanding the charges or assisting in his defense.
