On the night of February 17, 2020, gunfire broke out at a bonfire held at an off-campus venue known as The Ark, about 13 miles north of Alcorn State University in Claiborne County, Mississippi. Four people were struck; two of the wounded later died. James Carr, a 22-year-old Black student from Itta Bena, Mississippi, sustained critical injuries and was one of the fatalities. Nineteen-year-old Tahir Fitzhugh, a student from Pennsylvania, was the other student who died. Two additional people survived their injuries.

The Claiborne County Sheriff’s Department and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation opened an inquiry. Authorities identified a suspect, Jerrell Davis, who was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and aggravated assault. Three other men — Carlton Hall, Damious Madison, and Vontavious Green — were charged with being accessories after the fact in connection with the double homicide. The shooting prompted a temporary lockdown at the university and vigils and counseling for grieving students and staff.

Does anyone have information about that night at The Ark or about James Carr’s activities around February 17, 2020?
