On a September evening in Verona, Mississippi, Harvey Lee Russell Jr., a 58-year-old man, was an innocent bystander caught in the crossfire of a violent altercation that claimed his life and that of another man. The events of September 17, 2020, unfolded when an argument broke out between two men in a car, leading to a fatal shooting. The other victim was identified as 35-year-old Thomas Tre Guido.
Authorities reported that Guido was involved in the initial dispute.
In the aftermath of the double homicide, the Verona Police Department identified two suspects: Roy Miller III and Andrego Gaston. Both men were publicly named, and law enforcement sought the public's help in locating them. At the time, it was noted that Miller was already wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections on unrelated matters.
The investigation into the deaths of Harvey Lee Russell Jr. and Thomas Tre Guido continued, though public updates on the capture of the two suspects directly related to the homicide became scarce. In November 2021, one of the suspects, Andrego Gaston, was arrested in Tupelo, Mississippi, during a traffic stop. However, this arrest was on charges of trafficking fentanyl and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon, and was not explicitly connected to the 2020 Verona homicides. Information regarding any trial or conviction for the murders of Harvey Lee Russell Jr. and Thomas Tre Guido has not been made publicly available.
