On the night of New Year’s Eve at about 11 p.m., a shooting at the Shell gas station on Highway 17 in Pickens, Mississippi, left two young men dead and a third person injured. Twenty-one-year-old Brian Grisby Jr. was found deceased at the front entrance of the convenience store. Nineteen-year-old De’Marion Sly was shot as well, taken to a nearby hospital, and later died. A third person suffered a graze wound and was treated and released.

The Holmes County Sheriff’s Department responded and opened an investigation. In the days after the shooting, four people were arrested and charged in the double homicide: Cendarius Craft, Amari Ward, Jamal Sly, and Ae Ward. Bond for each suspect was set at $500,000 on each murder count. Authorities have asked anyone with information to contact the Holmes County Sheriff’s Office.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what happened at the Shell on Highway 17 that night, please share what you know with law enforcement.
