Trent Clemons, 29, of Philadelphia, Mississippi, was found dead on the afternoon of July 15, 2020, on a side road off Highway 495. The Kemper County Sheriff’s Department reported Clemons had sustained two gunshot wounds to the head. His car was later recovered hidden under a bridge near the scene, and authorities noted the crime may have been drug-related.

Multiple agencies — the Kemper County Sheriff’s Department, Neshoba County Sheriff’s Department, Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians police and the FBI — investigated. A 17-year-old male was identified as the primary suspect and charged with first-degree murder; that teen was found deceased in his Kemper County Jail cell a few days after his arrest. Two other men, 25-year-old Michael Robinson and 19-year-old Isaiah Dixon, were charged with accessory after the fact to murder. Reports indicate Clemons and the three suspects were related and all were identified as Native American.

Does anyone have information about Clemons, his movements on July 15, 2020, or the people named in the case?
