Jimmy Glen Davis, 63, was found dead in his Sizemore Road home in Smithville, Mississippi, on the night of Sunday, January 14, 2024. A lifelong Monroe County resident, Davis’ body was discovered by his mother.

The Monroe County Sheriff’s Office processed the scene and the state medical examiner’s office ordered an autopsy to determine the official cause of death. Investigators identified a person of interest and made an arrest in connection with the shooting; the motive has not been released. Any witnesses or neighbors who were in the area that evening and might have seen or heard something are asked to come forward.
