"The Jones County Sheriff’s Department is still seeking a suspect wanted in a drive-by shooting investigation.
According to JCSD, 28-year-old Devante Blanks is wanted for one count of drive-by shooting in connection to an incident that occurred on April 18, 2023, in the Pendorff community. No injuries were reported.
Blanks was reportedly in a red Dodge Charger with a Chucky doll in the dash of the vehicle, JCSD said.
The sheriff’s department said Blanks is also wanted by the Mississippi Department of Corrections and is a registered sex offender."
He has been on the sex-offenders registry since around 2012, and has habitual problems showing up where he's supposed to be.
" Just about everywhere in the city limits is not suitable under the new law,” MDOC probation officer Carroll Windham told Judge Dal Williamson in a hearing on Oct. 6. “He just doesn’t have anywhere to live.”
Blanks told the court that he had been kicked out of his grandmother’s house in Lauderdale County and his mother in Laurel “is struggling,” so she can’t move to a place that’s legal. When asked about other relatives he could live with, Blanks said, “None of them talk to me.” Blanks said he didn’t graduate and he’s never had a job."
Search for drive-by shooting suspect still active in Jones Co.
JCSD said the suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.
