The Starkville Police Department was still searching today for two suspects involved in a weekend shooting on North Montgomery Street.
The suspects, 29-year-old Kenyon Derrell Cannon, aka “Smoke,” and 30-year-old Roderick D. Franklin, aka, “Bam Bam,” are considered armed and dangerous, Starkville police said in a press release.
Police were dispatched at approximately 11:10 p.m. Friday to the 800 block of North Montgomery Street to speak to an assault victim. The victim had been shot multiple times in the head and neck while inside his home at 819 N. Montgomery St., police said.
Starkville police have not identified the victim, but did confirm he left his home after the shooting and knocked on several neighbors’ doors for help before someone called 911.
When authorities arrived, the victim was transported first to Oktibbeha County Hospital, then to a hospital in Jackson for further treatment. He was in stable condition as of Monday afternoon, police said.
Aggravated assault warrants have been issued for Franklin and Cannon, and additional arrests are possible for anyone helping the suspects, police said.
Franklin, of 200 Catherine St., No 13B in Starkville, is described as 6 feet 2 inches tall and 170 pounds.
Cannon, of 141 Pilkington Park in Starkville, is 6 feet 1 inch tall, about 180 pounds.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of Franklin or Cannon is asked to call Starkville police at 662-323-4131, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-530-7151.
