On April 6, 2019, Jeff Counts, 46, was shot dead in the backyard of a residence north of Grenada, Mississippi. Counts, who worked as Pre-Owned Sales Manager at Kirk Auto Company and was active in the Grenada Church of God, sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the head and was found deceased when deputies from the Grenada County Sheriff’s Office arrived. His body was taken to the state Crime Lab in Pearl for autopsy.

The shooting happened during a target-shooting gathering of four people. Authorities described the incident as domestic-related. Eighteen-year-old Gage Atkinson was taken into custody at the scene and booked that day on a murder charge in connection with Counts’s death.

Did anyone in the Grenada area know Jeff Counts or his associates and have information about what led to that afternoon’s escalation?
