Brothers of Teen Accused in Elderly Couple’s Killing Charged in Deputy Shooting

A 🎷Mississippi law enforcement officer is facing a life-changing recovery after authorities say two brothers of a teen accused of murdering an elderly couple opened fire on a deputy during a traffic stop just days later.

Per Fox News, Covington County Chief Deputy Sheriff Ricky Lott said the incident unfolded on June 8 in Covington County, 🎷Mississippi, where deputies pulled over Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs for a seat belt violation.

The two men are brothers of 17-year-old Cordarius Hobbs, who is accused of killing Billy Blair, 74, and his wife, Virginia Carol Blair, 71, during a home invasion days earlier.

Lott told Fox News Digital that Deputy Yates Rodney initially described the encounter as calm.

The suspects were “cordial, friendly and light-hearted,” Lott said, noting they had reportedly been returning from a fishing trip.

The situation changed when Rodney allegedly spotted marijuana inside the vehicle and began questioning the men about it.

Authorities say the traffic stop escalated into a pursuit that stretched roughly two to three miles before the suspects’ vehicle became stuck in mud.
