RANKIN COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – Three suspects were arrested in Rankin County after shots were fired at the direction of multiple people, investigators said.

Deputies responded to the area of Cedar Brook Drive near Pearl for a disturbance just before 4:00 p.m. on Thursday.

Investigator Tyler Burnell, with the Rankin County Sheriff’s Office, said deputies discovered that no one had been injured. While conducting interviews, investigators learned that two parties had been in an argument, which escalated to a fight.

As one party was leaving the area in a white Jeep Cherokee, Burnell said the back seat passenger, who was identified as Lamarquis Trevail Green, leaned out of the back window and fired multiple shots at people.

The vehicle was later located off of Greenwood Avenue in Jackson. Burnell said the firearm used in the shooting was recovered.

After the suspects were arrested, it was discovered that Green has a prior felony conviction in Mississippi.

Green has been charged with drive-by shooting and possession of firearm by convicted felon.  Raekya Fashay Mitchell was charged with accessory after the fact to drive-by shooting. An unidentified juvenile was also charged.

Green is being without bond at the Rankin County Detention. Both Green and Mitchell will have their initial appearances in Rankin County Court next week.
