Jarvis Birtfield, 19, was shot dead on Scott Street in Jackson, Mississippi on January 19, 2018. He was found by the curb with a gunshot wound to the head shortly before 12:30 p.m. The same day, 57-year-old Percy King, a local wildlife expert known as the Snake Man, was found in his front yard with multiple gunshot wounds and also died.

An off-duty Hinds County deputy and a neighbor witnessed the shootings and the deputy detained a suspect at the scene until officers arrived. The person taken into custody was identified as 26-year-old Jamarrio Bell, and a handgun believed to be the weapon was recovered. Bell was charged with two counts of murder and a grand jury later indicted him for first-degree murder in both deaths. The motive has not been made clear.

If anyone has information about Jarvis, Percy, or the events on Scott Street that afternoon, please share what you know.
