One of two suspects are in custody in connection witth a shooting that killed one person and injured another Monday night at a house that was the subject of a manhunt related to another shooting a week earlier.
Andra Cotton, 20, died of multiple gunshot wounds at the house at 720 Avenue D around 7 p.m.
Brandon Celestine, 18, was shot in the hand. He was treated for that injury and has since been released from Southwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center, Police Chief Juan Cloy said.
Ladarius Magee, 17, was captured Monday afternoon, Cloy said.
Bryson Brumfield, 17, remains at large.
Cloy said Brumfield was free on bond after being charged with accessory after the fact in connection with the slaying of a pregnant woman in Gulfport. The chief said Brumfield's brother is a suspect in the Gulfport shooting.
Celestine is the twin brother of Brenton Celestine, who was wanted in a shooting that took place Jan. 28 at the Five Points intersection at Presley Boulevard and South Broadway.
Cloy said last week that Quatasia Nobles was shot in the finger while she was sitting inside a vehicle in what may have been a case of mistaken identity.
“The vehicle was a target,” Cloy said last week.
Police identified Brenton Celestine as a suspect in the Nobles shooting and chased him through East McComb the following afternoon until he barricaded himself inside his house on Avenue D. McComb police and Pike County sheriff’s deputies descended on the residence en masse and arrested him.
Brenton Celestine faces charges of aggravated assault and shooting into an occupied vehicle in that case.
Cloy declined to say whether the shootings were related.
