NATCHEZ — At least two suspects remain at large from recent and unrelated shootings in Natchez and Adams County, officials said Thursday afternoon.

The incident is believed to be related to an Oct. 1 shooting spree in which several suspects drove around town shooting at random resulting in the death of Richard Frazier, 34, as he sat in his vehicle on West Stiers Lane, police investigators said

Natchez Police Chief Walter Armstrong said the case is still under investigation and no arrests have been made.

The two injured victims have been released from Merit Health Natchez and the Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson with non-life-threatening injuries, Armstrong said.

Meanwhile, a suspect in a non-fatal shooting incident that occurred Aug. 29 in the vicinity of Old Country Club Road in Adams County is believed to have left the state, Adams County Sheriff’s Office officials said.

In that incident a car reportedly pulled up next to a car being driven by a woman who had four children in the back seat.

The car’s driver began shooting into the woman’s vehicle, officials said, during which she received a non-life threating gunshot wound to her arm and drove herself to Natchez Fire Station No. 3. She was then transported for medical treatment.

A warrant has been issued for Jamontae Davis, 17, for five counts of attempted murder in relation to the incident.

“We’re working with the U.S. Marshals to track this guy down, and we have an idea of where he might be,” Adams County Sheriff Travis Patten said.
