John Lennon Sutherland, 30, was one of three people killed in Olive Branch, Mississippi, in the early morning hours of New Year’s Day 2021. The shootings occurred around 1:40 a.m. near Jefferson Drive and Shiloah Cove; responding officers found Sutherland, Tommi Lynn Carrier, 40, and Tyler Glen Liles, 33, dead at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds.

Investigators arrested two men from Cordova, Tennessee. Ivan C. Rodriguez, 26 at the time, was taken into custody the same day and initially charged with three counts of first-degree murder; Dylan Lee Howard, 21 at the time, was arrested January 4, 2021, and charged with being an accessory after the fact. Court records described an argument between Howard and his on-and-off girlfriend, who is Carrier’s daughter, and a series of taunting text messages between Howard and Liles that preceded Howard and Rodriguez driving to Olive Branch.

Rodriguez was later convicted on lesser counts and sentenced, and Howard received a separate sentence; Sutherland’s mother made an emotional impact statement at sentencing describing the effect his death has had on her life. Does anyone have information about Sutherland’s activities that night or the area around Jefferson Drive and Shiloah Cove?
