Shortly before dawn on June 8, 2020, gunfire was reported at a residence on Boswell Lofton Road in Simpson County, Mississippi. Deputies arriving around 3:30 a.m. found three people shot inside the home. Nineteen-year-old Datavion Fairley of Brandon was critically wounded, taken to a nearby hospital, and pronounced dead. A 17-year-old, Briceyah Mills, was found dead at the scene; a 24-year-old, Jarvis Loftin, survived with injuries.

Investigators treated the incident as a double homicide and said the victims likely knew their attacker or attackers. The Simpson County Sheriff’s Office later named Cody Emmonte Hall as a suspect, charging him with two counts of capital murder and five counts of armed robbery in connection with the shooting. Datavion Fairley, known as Pepe, was a member of North Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, had attended Magee Public Schools, and was a father who enjoyed football and basketball.

If anyone knew Datavion or has information about what happened that night, please share what you can with the investigators.
