Six people have been arrested in connection with an armed robbery in Tupelo that left one person with a gunshot wound, the Tupelo Police Department said.
Officers responded Oct. 25 to Lake Circle Drive after reports of someone knocking on doors. They took that person into custody on misdemeanor charges. Around the same time, police were notified that a person with a gunshot wound had arrived at North Mississippi Medical Center’s emergency room.
Detectives found a crime scene on Lake Circle Drive and collected evidence. The investigation determined that a group had allegedly lured the person officers initially encountered to the area to rob him at gunpoint, police said. Shots were fired during the robbery, striking one person.
Police charged each suspect with one count of conspiracy to commit armed robbery and one count of armed robbery: Jaycee M. Parker, 20, of Booneville; Mason B. Hogue, 18, of New Albany; and Kendal B. White, 19, of Booneville, arrested Oct. 28; and Colin Hogue, 19, of New Albany; Kirsten K. Moyer, 18, of Booneville; and Clifton A. Campbell, 18, of New Albany, arrested Oct. 29.
Lee County Circuit Court Judge Mims set bond at $30,000 for each suspect on Oct. 30. Police said the investigation is ongoing and additional arrests or charges are possible. The case will be presented to a Lee County grand jury.
