STARKVILLE — A third suspect has been arrested for a December shooting on Reed Ridge Circle in Starkville that sent one person to the hospital.
Dushun Poindexter, 24, of Macon, has been charged with attempted murder and armed robbery, Starkville Police Department Public Information Officer Sgt. Brandon Lovelady said. Officers with the U.S. Marshal’s Task Force arrested Poindexter on Monday in Noxubee County.
Poindexter is accused of an early morning shooting on Dec. 7, 2020, outside a residence, according to previous reporting by The Dispatch. One victim was treated at an area hospital, but investigators have not said whether the victim knew the suspects.
Two other suspects, Roderiques Lockett, 24, and John King Jr., 35, were arrested a few days after the shooting.
Poindexter is currently in custody at Oktibbeha County Jail with bond set at $750,000 for both charges.
