In the summer of 2019, the life of 44-year-old Anthony Garrett, a male resident of Cleveland, Mississippi, was cut short by an act of gun violence. On Saturday, June 29, 2019, Garrett was fatally shot in an incident that prompted a swift response from local law enforcement.
Following the shooting, the Cleveland Police Department launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Garrett's death. Their efforts led to the arrest of a suspect in connection with the homicide. The individual taken into custody was identified as Marrio Terrell Jones.
Jones was subsequently charged with first-degree murder in the shooting death of Anthony Garrett. After his arrest, he was booked into the Bolivar County Jail. A judge later set his bond at $500,000. The case was then bound over to the grand jury for further legal proceedings. The motive for the shooting was not immediately released to the public.
