Timothy Blair, 31, of Greenville, Mississippi, died after a shooting on the night of Friday, March 27, 2026. Officers were called about gunfire around 9:30 p.m. in the 1700 block of U.S. Highway 82 East near an Exxon station. Shell casings were found in the parking lot, but the wounded victim was not at the scene; Blair was later admitted to Delta Health’s trauma room and was pronounced dead.

Investigators linked the shooting to 23-year-old Roderick Jenkins Jr., who was arrested and charged with murder and aggravated assault. Authorities did not release what led up to the shooting, whether Blair and Jenkins knew each other, or whether others were wounded or targeted. Jenkins was held at the Washington County Regional Correctional Facility pending an initial court appearance.

Funeral arrangements were handled by Byas Funeral Home, with visitation on April 17, 2026, services at House of Prayer Church of God in Christ, and burial at Oaklawn Memorial Gardens. If anyone has information about the circumstances of the shooting or knew Timothy Blair, please share what is known.
