On the night of November 10, 2023, 23-year-old Steven Dewayne Burts was found dead inside a vehicle that had crashed into a pole on Casino Center Drive in Robinsonville, Mississippi. Burts, a Black male, was one of three occupants; 24-year-old Deshun Montarrio Isabell and 25-year-old Tednequa Tenice Moore, who was pregnant, were also inside. The vehicle was riddled with bullet holes, and the Tunica County Sheriff’s Office opened a triple homicide investigation.
An arrest followed on November 22, 2023, when 18-year-old Deonte Carnell Taylor of Tunica was charged with three counts of capital murder, four counts of shooting into a motor vehicle, and four counts of conspiracy to commit a crime; he was held without bond. Investigators later identified a second suspect. On April 12, 2024, 20-year-old Anthony Carter Jr., also known as A.J., was charged in the quadruple homicide that includes the death of Moore’s unborn child, facing four counts of capital murder, four counts of conspiracy to commit a crime, one count of drive-by shooting, and one count of shooting into a motor vehicle. Carter was already in custody on unrelated attempted murder, firearms, and controlled substance charges, and the Sheriff’s Office says the investigation is ongoing with more arrests expected.
Are there witnesses or anyone with information about the shootings or the vehicle before the crash who can help investigators?
