Story Archives: Four arrested in Vidalia shooting


Four arrested in Vidalia shooting
by Joey Martin - posted E-mail Story E-mail Story | Print Story Print Story 
Three Vidalia men were charged with attempted second-degree murder following an early morning shooting Thursday on Peach Street in Vidalia.

Michael Riley, 24, 602 Maple St., Keywon De'Shay Jackson, 18, 203 Pine St., and Quancy Hawkins, 20, 103 Gillespie St., were charged after the incident.

Vidalia Police Sgt. Delane Bush said the incident started at approximately 2 a.m. when one of the suspects and the juvenile had a verbal altercation about a female.

In a separate incident, the female the suspects were arguing about filed a report against Quancy Hawkins' brother, Quincy Jarmel Hawkins, 21, 103 Gillespie St., Vidalia.

In her complaint, the victim stated that Quincy Hawkins pointed a weapon in her face and threatened her, Bush said.

Quincy Hawkins was charged with aggravated assault with a firearm.

Later, at approximately 3:45 a.m., the suspects and the victim apparently met each other in the roadway, and shots were fired from the suspect's car into the victim's car, where one bullet struck him in the leg.

The victim was transported to Natchez Regional Medical Center and his wounds were not life threatening.

Bush said residents reported hearing three or four shots, and police were able to recover four bullet casings.

They also recovered the weapon — a 9mm handgun — by the canal bridge.

The victim later identified the vehicle from which the shots were fired, which Hendricks said was located at a Vidalia apartment complex on U.S. 84.
