On the afternoon of March 12, 2025, a violent altercation at the Cloverdale Apartments in Brookhaven, Mississippi, ended with 21-year-old Deleatric Quarles being shot. Police responded to reports of shots fired in the 900 block of Williams Street around 5:30 p.m. Quarles was taken to King’s Daughters Medical Center and pronounced dead there.

Investigators identified 30-year-old James Lewis Levi Jr. as a suspect early in the inquiry and said he was alleged to have shot and killed Quarles. Authorities also examined whether the homicide was connected to a drive-by shooting the next morning on Ozark Lane in which nobody was injured. Law enforcement described Levi as armed and dangerous and sought public help locating him.

A multiagency search located and arrested Levi in Atlanta on March 27, 2025. He was extradited to Lincoln County, Mississippi, on March 31 to face proceedings in connection with Quarles’s death. Does anyone with knowledge of the Cloverdale Apartments or either shooting have information that could help investigators?
