Authorities have not yet released the identities of the victims or determined a motive, but Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance told BuzzFeed News they believe one victim was the suspect's ex-wife and that two others were relatives.
A screenshot from Google Maps shows the exterior of Express Mart in Arkabutla, where one of the shootings occurred.Tate County Sheriff Brad Lance told BuzzFeed News the shootings took place outside a convenience store and at two residences in Arkabutla, a rural unincorporated community that's home to fewer than 300 people. A suspect, identified as 52-year-old Richard Dale Crum of Arkabutla, has been taken into custody and is being held without bond at the county jail.
Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves said he has been briefed on the shootings and that authorities believe the suspect acted alone. Before authorities arrived at the store, they were alerted to a second shooting inside a residence on Bend Road, about 3 miles away. At that scene, deputies found a woman who had been shot and killed inside the home; her fiancé or husband, who had been struck by the suspect but not shot, was also there, Lance said. The man told deputies he didn't know who the suspect was, but officials have since learned that the woman was Crum's ex-wife.
Deputies then discovered four deceased victims in the area of the Arkabutla Dam house, which Lance identified as Crum's residence. Two victims, a woman and a man, were found shot to death in a residence behind the suspect's house. Another man was found lying dead in the road between the two residences. The fourth victim, another man, was found dead from an apparent gunshot wound in the driver's seat of a vehicle in the roadway.
