On December 28, 2024, Jameion Crockrell, a 33-year-old Black man from Pickens, Mississippi, was shot and killed at Club Legends on Newport Road in Holmes County. The shooting occurred at about 2:30 a.m.; Crockrell suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. His body was taken to the Mississippi State Crime Lab for autopsy.

A Holmes County deputy later spotted a person of interest driving on Highway 17 and arrested 18-year-old Michael Stewart Jr. around 4 p.m. that same day. Stewart has been charged with murder and was scheduled for an initial court appearance on January 2, 2025. The investigation is ongoing to determine whether others were involved.

If anyone was at Club Legends that night or has information about the confrontation that led to Crockrell’s death, please come forward.
