On October 9, 2021, 18-year-old Kadarrius NiRell Davis of Jackson, Louisiana, was killed while attending a trail ride east of Liberty in Amite County, Mississippi. Davis was struck once in the head and died at the scene; another attendee, 47-year-old Derrick Elliott of Zachary, Louisiana, suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and neck.

The Amite County Sheriff’s Office identified 20-year-old Jon Trellis Goudeau of Clinton, Louisiana, as the alleged shooter and charged him with second-degree murder. The sheriff’s office said at the time that more arrests were expected, but no further charges or outcomes have been publicly reported.

The motive for the shooting and whether others were ultimately charged remain unclear. If anyone at the trail ride or nearby that night has information that could help the investigation, please come forward.
