SIX ARRESTED FOLLOWING DRIVE-BY SHOOTING INVESTIGATION

On Sunday, September 13, 2026, deputies with the Pike County Sheriff’s Office responded to Hollow Drive near Highway 98 East in reference to a reported disturbance and drive-by shooting.

While deputies were en route, witnesses provided information indicating that a silver Cadillac was believed to be involved in the shooting. A - Be On the Lookout - was immediately issued to surrounding law enforcement agencies for the vehicle.

A short time later, officers with the McComb Police Department located the suspects vehicle. Officers conducted a traffic stop.

During the investigation, officers determined that the occupants were believed to be involved in the reported shooting.

Six individuals—three males and three females, ranging in age from 18 to 27—were taken into custody. All six individuals were not from the Pike County Area.

One rifle and one pistol were also recovered from the vehicle.

The investigation remains ongoing, and additional charges are pending as investigators continue working the case.

Sheriff Bryant Wally Jones would like to personally thank the McComb Police Department for their quick response and assistance in locating the vehicle. Sheriff Jones would also like to recognize the deputies and investigators of the Pike County Sheriff’s Office for the outstanding job they have done throughout this weekend.

Two shootings in one weekend, and ALL suspects are in custody.

Sheriff Jones also has a clear message for individuals who choose to come into Pike County from other areas and commit violent crimes:

Stay in your cities. If your intention is to come into Pike County and act foolish, commit violent crimes, or endanger our citizens, you are not welcome here. If you choose to do it anyway, understand that our deputies and investigators will work relentlessly to find you, arrest you, and hold you accountable.

We will continue working alongside our municipal and surrounding law enforcement partners to protect the citizens of Pike County. Criminal activity does not stop at city or county lines, and neither does our commitment to holding those responsible accountable.

All individuals are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty in a court of law.

The investigation is ongoing and the identity of the suspects will be released at a later date.
