A Mississippi community is grieving the tragic loss of a sheriff's deputy who was shot and killed while responding to a domestic call on Sunday evening. The deputy, identified as 37-year-old Martin Shields, Jr., had been with the Hinds County Sheriff's Office for about nine months. Prior to his time with the HCSO, Shields had served in law enforcement with the Mississippi Department of Corrections and the Jackson Police Department.
The incident took place in Terry, Mississippi, approximately 15 miles southwest of Jackson, where Shields and another deputy were responding to a domestic call. Tragically, Shields was shot and killed during the response. An 'unidentified Black male subject believed to be related to the call' was also found dead inside the residence.
