On a Saturday night in October 2021, the life of 18-year-old Kadarrius NiRell Davis, a male from Jackson, Louisiana, was tragically cut short. The young man was attending a trail ride east of Liberty in Amite County, Mississippi, on October 9th, when violence erupted. In the ensuing chaos, Davis was struck by a single gunshot to the head and died at the scene.
Another man, 47-year-old Derrick Elliott of Zachary, Louisiana, was also caught in the gunfire, sustaining wounds to his chest and neck.
The Amite County Sheriff's Office immediately launched an investigation into the deadly shootout. Their efforts led them to a suspect in the neighboring state of Louisiana. Jon Trellis Goudeau, a 20-year-old from Clinton, Louisiana, was identified as the alleged shooter. He was subsequently arrested and charged with second-degree murder for his role in the death of Kadarrius Davis. At the time of Goudeau's arrest, the sheriff's office indicated that more arrests were anticipated in connection with the trail ride shooting.
Following the initial announcement of the charge against Jon Trellis Goudeau, details regarding the ongoing legal proceedings have been sparse. Information concerning a trial, conviction, or sentencing in the case has not been publicly reported. The motive for the shooting and whether any other individuals were ultimately charged in the incident that claimed the life of Kadarrius NiRell Davis and injured another remains unclear.
