On February 3, 2025, the body of 18-year-old Karterius Barksdale was found on the side of Huckleberry Road in Durant, Mississippi. Holmes County investigators determined Barksdale, a Black male, had suffered multiple gunshot wounds. His white 2004 GMC Yukon was missing and the case was treated as a robbery-related homicide, with the missing vehicle a central focus of the early investigation.

Not long after the discovery, law enforcement arrested a 16-year-old, Adrian Steverson, and charged him with murder and felony vehicle theft. Authorities did not immediately release a motive. If anyone saw activity on Huckleberry Road on February 3 or has information about the missing GMC Yukon, please come forward.
