Law enforcement officials say they were notified after multiple gunshot victims arrived by private vehicle at Fields Health System hospital. Nine people had been shot, with two later dying from their injuries.
The deceased were identified as Dekevion Andrews, 19, and Donovan Jackson, 22. Those injured were identified as Jerryon Roger, 20; Cameron Robinson, 18; Latelvin Henyard, 19; and four juveniles ages 14 to 17.
The Centreville Police Department, Wilkinson County Sheriff’s Office, and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are investigating. At this time, no arrests have been announced in this case, though a $5,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of those responsible.
