NATCHEZ — Natchez police are investigating a drive-by shooting on Dumas Drive and have already arrested two local men.

Police Chief Mike Mullins said on Thursday, a woman sitting in her kitchen at her Dumas Drive residence heard several shots outside, and when she went to her door noticed a bullet hole.

As she was calling the police, a witness told the woman he had been in an altercation with three individuals earlier who shot at him and fled the area.

On Friday at 5 a.m., two suspects were identified in the area, arrested and charged with drive-by shooting.

Zachary Ramon Clay, 18, 104 Dumas Drive and Jessie Sentel Davis, 28, 209-A Dumas Drive are being detained at the Natchez City Jail on a $50,000 bond.

Mullins said no guns have been recovered and more arrests are expected to be made.
