Crime Stoppers offers $5,000 reward in Centreville shooting probe

A $5,000 reward is now being offered for information that could lead to an arrest in the Centreville shooting that left nine people shot near Orchard Café on Highway 24 and killed two young men. Southwest Mississippi Crime Stoppers announced the reward as investigators continued trying to identify who opened fire in the early hours of July 4.

The shooting unfolded around 12:55 a.m. near Best G’s Store and Orchard Café in Centreville. Law enforcement was notified only after multiple victims arrived by private vehicle at Fields Health System hospital, a sequence that left officers trying to reconstruct a chaotic scene after people were already wounded and moving away from the area.

Authorities said the dead were Dekevion Andrews, 19, and Donovan Jackson, 22. The injured included Jerryon Roger, 20; Cameron Robinson, 18; Latelvin Henyard, 19; and four juveniles ages 14 to 17. The case is being handled by the Centreville Police Department with help from the Wilkinson County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Crime Stoppers said tips can be submitted anonymously by phone or through the P3 app, a channel investigators often rely on when a shooting has too many witnesses, too much fear, or too little cooperation for a case to move quickly. The reward gives residents a specific way to help without having to walk straight into an active investigation.

The violence also pushed Centreville into a broader public-safety response. Mayor Demetria Allen-Hudson imposed a town curfew from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. beginning July 8, and later reporting said it remained in effect until further notice. A town meeting was also held to discuss next steps after the shooting, reflecting the pressure the case put on local officials and residents alike.

Orchard Café owner Terral McDonald also spoke publicly about the aftermath, adding a neighborhood voice to the discussion as Centreville tried to steady itself after the holiday weekend shooting. No arrests had been announced in the reporting reviewed, leaving the reward and the anonymous tip line as the main avenues for moving the case forward.
