Ronnie Daniel Bean, 52, of Mantee, Mississippi, was found dead on the side of CCC Line Road in Clay County on the morning of May 18, 2024. Law enforcement described his death as a homicide; an autopsy confirmed multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators say an altercation that began inside a nearby nightclub, C’s Place, escalated. Witnesses reported Bean was pursued in his vehicle after leaving the club, shot at during the chase, driven off the road, and then exited his car and collapsed on the roadside. A new county ordinance requiring upgraded nightclub security systems produced video surveillance that investigators credited with helping identify potential suspects and witnesses.

Within days authorities arrested three men in connection with the killing. Stederic L. Griffis, 24, was charged with murder. Jaleel K. Moye, 26, was charged with murder, shooting into a motor vehicle, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Aljuwuan Tallie, 28, was charged with murder, shooting into a motor vehicle, and tampering with physical evidence; all three were booked into the Clay County Detention Center. If anyone knew Ronnie or witnessed the incident near C’s Place or CCC Line Road, can you share what you remember?
