In the summer of 2015, the life of 36-year-old Darius Hudnall was tragically cut short in his hometown of Meridian, Mississippi. On the night of Saturday, July 11th, Hudnall was at a local establishment known as The Point club, located on 22nd Avenue, when a violent altercation erupted into gunfire, leaving him fatally wounded. Emergency services were dispatched to the scene, and Hudnall was swiftly transported to Rush Foundation Hospital, but tragically, he succumbed to his injuries.
The immediate aftermath of the shooting sent ripples of concern and a desire for justice through the community. The Meridian Police Department quickly launched an investigation into the homicide, identifying a person of interest in the case. Law enforcement officials began a search for Kelvin Stephens, who was soon named as the primary suspect in the shooting death of Darius Hudnall. As the investigation progressed, a warrant was issued for Stephens's arrest on the grave charge of murder.
In the days following the incident, the search for Kelvin Stephens intensified, with law enforcement agencies actively pursuing leads to locate him. The manhunt, however, came to a peaceful conclusion when Stephens made the decision to turn himself in to the authorities. Accompanied by his attorney, Stephens surrendered to the Meridian Police Department, where he was formally charged with the murder of Darius Hudnall. Following his arrest, he was booked into the Lauderdale County Detention Center, with his bond set at a significant sum, reflecting the serious nature of the crime he was accused of committing. Further details regarding a trial or conviction have not been made publicly available.
