In the summer of 2017, the community of Lucedale, Mississippi, was shaken by the violent death of one of its own. Demetrius Pate, a 33-year-old male, was fatally shot on July 11, 2017. The incident, which was quickly classified as a homicide, prompted an investigation by local law enforcement.
In the days following the shooting, a significant development occurred in the case when a suspect voluntarily surrendered to the police. This individual was identified as Montell Jazauancgo Bogan. His surrender led to his arrest in connection with the death of Demetrius Pate.
Following his arrest, Bogan was charged with first-degree murder. He was subsequently booked into the George County Regional Correctional Facility. The case then proceeded through the legal system, culminating in a trial where the evidence against him was presented. The jury found Montell Jazauancgo Bogan guilty of the murder of Demetrius Pate. After his conviction, he was sentenced to serve a life term in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections.
