A routine domestic disturbance call in Bogue Chitto, Mississippi, turned into one of the deadliest nights the county has seen. On Saturday, May 27, 2017, 36-year-old Lincoln County Sheriff’s Deputy Donald William Durr responded to a residence on Lee Drive at about 11:30 p.m. Upon arrival he was fatally shot by a male suspect at the scene.

The gunman then killed three women at that address and continued a violent spree at two other Brookhaven-area locations, where four more people, including two juveniles, were killed. The suspect was identified as 35-year-old Willie Cory Godbolt and was taken into custody the following morning after a large law enforcement response.

Deputy Durr had served two years with the sheriff’s office. He was a husband and father to an 11-year-old son and had worked as a youth minister before his law enforcement career. Does anyone in the area have information about Deputy Durr, the victims, or the events of May 27 that could add clarity to this case?
