SUMMARY: A suspect and a K-9 were killed in an officer-involved shooting on Highway 61 near the Desoto County/Tunica County line. The suspect, identified as 38-year-old Jamarcus Brown, was a father of three. The incident occurred during a vehicle pursuit when deputies initiated a PIT maneuver. The suspect fired a shot, striking and killing the K-9, prompting deputies to shoot and kill the suspect. The officers were not seriously injured and the K-9 later died from its injuries. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is investigating and will share their findings with the Attorney General's Office. Brown's family disputes the MBI's account of the events.
