NATCHEZ — The Adams County Sheriff’s Office has enlisted the help of the U.S. Marshals Service in locating the suspect in a Wednesday afternoon shooting, sheriff Travis Patten said.

The shooting occurred near Old Country Club Road at approximately 3:30 p.m. Wednesday when a car pulled up next a vehicle being driven by a woman with four juveniles inside and a person in the car began shooting into the woman’s vehicle.

The driver was hit in the bicep, and she drove herself to Natchez Fire Station No. 3 from where she was transported for medical treatment of the non-life-threatening gunshot wound, Patten said.

Patten said the sheriff’s office has one person in custody and an arrest warrant on five counts of attempted murder for the main suspect, Jamontae Davis, 17.

Patten asked the public’s help in locating Davis.

“We have word that he is trying to get a ride to Atlanta, Georgia,” Patten said Thursday. “Anyone found to be helping him will be charged for aiding and abetting a fugitive.”

Patten said anyone with information on the case could contact the sheriff’s office by calling 911 in Adams County. People outside of Adams County, Patten said, should dial the sheriff’s office directly at 601-442-2752.
