John Rocky Rorie, 59, was killed on February 17, 2023, during a shooting rampage that left six people dead in the rural Arkabutla area near Coldwater, Mississippi. The attacks occurred at three separate locations; Rorie — described as a close family friend to some of the other victims — was among those fatally shot.
Authorities identified 52-year-old Richard Dale Crum as the suspect and took him into custody the same day. Other victims named were Debra Sue Crum, 60, Charles Manuel, 76, Chris Eugene Boyce, 59, George Auston McCain, 78, and Lynda McCain, 78. The Tate County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation and prosecutors have announced plans to seek the death penalty; the case is expected to be presented to a grand jury.
Did anyone in the Arkabutla or Coldwater area know John Rocky Rorie or have information about his movements that day?
