Two more suspects have been arrested and charged in connection with the recent shooting at Club 195 on the Forrest and Stone county line that left one woman dead and several other individuals wounded, bringing to three the number of individuals taken into custody in the case.
Sherri Marengo, public information officer for the Forrest County Sheriff’s Office, said 25-year-old Zadarruous Sutton has been charged with aggravated assault; his bond was set at $350,000 by Forrest County Justice Court Judge Zach Vaughn. Antontonia Murry, 21, has been charged with hindering prosecution; Vaughn set her bond at $2,500.
Montrell Quinn II, 23, was previously arrested and charged with aggravated assault; Vaughn set his bond at $500,000.
The three suspects were booked into the Forrest County Correctional Facility.
Ten percent of the bond amount is required to post bail. Therefore, Sutton would need $35,000, Quinn would need $50,000 and Murry would need $250 for that measure.
The incident occurred October 29 in the early morning of hours at the club, which is located on Old Highway 49 South at the county line. Deputies responded shortly after in response to calls of shots fired during a private party at the venue.
During the course of the investigation into the incident, police learned that three individuals had sustained non-life-threatening injuries during the shooting; one victim succumbed to her injuries.
Forrest County deputy coroner Lisa Klem identified the deceased victim as 21-year-old Jade Rhodes of Hattiesburg.
Investigators from the Forrest County Sherriff’s Department, along with the Hattiesburg Police Department Crime Scene Unit, recovered dozens of shell casings from various calibers of weapons at the scene of the crime.
