Ellis Ray Magee Jr, 33, of Liberty, Mississippi, was shot dead on June 4, 2021, on Starnes Road just outside McComb.

In the weeks after the killing no arrests were announced and family members expressed frustration with the Pike County Sheriff’s Department, concerned investigators might be treating the shooting as self-defense. The sheriff said the probe was not closed and that his main contact was Magee’s wife; the District Attorney said the case would be presented to a grand jury. The grand jury outcome and whether any charges were filed remain unclear.

If anyone knew Ellis, was on Starnes Road that day, or has information about the confrontation, please share what is known with investigators.
