Christopher Hegwood, 29, and his girlfriend Chrissy Jenkins were killed by gunshot wounds inside their mobile home on M.L.K. Street just outside Amite, Louisiana, in the early morning hours of July 23, 2024. Jenkins placed a 911 call shortly before 5 a.m. reporting she had been shot; when Amite Police and Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s deputies arrived they found both occupants deceased.

Family members said Hegwood was a giving person and a loving father to three sons, two of whom he shared with Jenkins. The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the Amite Police Department and Louisiana State Police, opened a detailed investigation; the sheriff initially said he did not believe the incident was the result of a domestic dispute. For months the case remained unsolved, leaving the community and family seeking answers.

Did anyone in the Amite area know the couple or have information about that night?
