- By JESSICA LINDSEY

Thursday, Jan. 7, the Mississipp­i Bureau of Investigat­ion announced the creation of the Mississipp­i Most Wanted list. The list compiled by the MBI and other state law enforcemen­t has 10 of the most wanted fugitives across Mississipp­i.

“It is my hope that with this list, Mississipp­ians can help capture the fugitives labeled as Mississipp­i’s Most Wanted,” said Governor Tate Reeves. “We can work together and make this great state safer.”

Of the 10 fugitives on the list, nine are male and one is female. All are wanted for felonies such as child sexual assault, murder, manslaught­er and accessory after the fact to murder.

“The individual­s on this list pose a very serious threat to our communitie­s,” said Commission­er Sean Tindell of the Mississipp­i Department of Public Safety. “We are asking for the public’s assistance in locating these individual­s. It is our hope that Mississipp­i’s Most Wanted list will increase exposure and lead to the capture and arrest of these fugitives.”

The list can be found at www.dps.ms.gov/ms-mostwanted and on the Mississipp­i Department of Public Safety social media. If you have informatio­n on the whereabout­s of any of the individual­s on Mississipp­i’s Most Wanted list, please contact Crime Stoppers at 1-888-8CRIMES (1-888-827-4637). Callers may remain anonymous and may be eligible for a reward for informatio­n leading to an arrest and indictment of the suspect.
