Investigator Thomas Wayne Daughdrill, 41, was killed on August 26, 1992, in Magnolia, Mississippi while on duty with the Pike County Sheriff’s Office. He had served with Pike County for over nine years and previously worked for the McComb and Pearl Police Departments. He is survived by his wife and four children.

Officers responded to a reported burglary in progress off Clark Street. A 15-year-old boy armed with a shotgun and a pistol fled into a barn on West Myrtle Street. After one officer who entered the barn was shot in the shoulder, officers set a perimeter. The teenager then emerged and fired a 20-gauge shotgun, fatally striking Investigator Daughdrill in the chest. Officers exchanged gunfire, wounded the suspect and took him into custody.

The 15-year-old was charged with capital murder in connection with Daughdrill’s death. Does anyone have additional details about the scene or the investigation that could help clarify what happened that day?
