On the morning of July 23, 2024, 27-year-old Chrissy Jenkins and her boyfriend Christopher Hegwood were shot inside a mobile home on M.L.K. Street in Amite, Louisiana. Chrissy placed a 911 call just before 5 a.m., reporting that she and her boyfriend had been shot; both were later pronounced dead at the scene. The couple had been together for a decade and shared three children.

Investigators from the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, with assistance from the Amite Police Department and Louisiana State Police, handled the homicide investigation. In October 2024 authorities arrested 21-year-old Ryan Snow after forensic evidence reportedly linked him to the scene; he was booked on two counts of first-degree murder and one count of obstruction of justice. Snow’s relationship to the victims was not disclosed. In February 2025 he was released from jail after a court removed his bond obligation because a grand jury had not indicted him, leaving the case unresolved and the investigation ongoing.

If anyone has information about Chrissy Jenkins, Christopher Hegwood, or the events at the M.L.K. Street mobile home, please come forward.
