Two more arrests have been made in connection with a shooting in Starkville’s Cotton District that left one person injured during Super Bulldog Weekend, bringing the total number of suspects charged to four, according to the Starkville Police Department.

Dewaylon Brooks, 23, and Anthony Davis, 19, both from Starkville, were arrested and charged with attempted murder in connection with the April 25 shooting on Maxwell Street near Lummus Drive, police said in a Monday update.

These arrests follow the first arrests of Juantel Hughes, 19, and Jordyn Barrett, 21, both from Starkville, who were also charged with attempted murder and are being held at the Oktibbeha County Jail. The department noted that both had prior arrests in September 2025, unrelated to this case.

Police said the shooting occurred near 11:49 p.m. Saturday in the Cotton District during one of the busiest weekends of the spring semester.

The victim was flown from the scene for additional medical treatment. Their condition is unknown.

Officials initially said that the individuals involved knew each other prior to the shooting. Investigators have not released further details about what led to the shooting.

The shooting occurred during Super Bulldog Weekend, one of Mississippi State University’s busiest weekends of the spring semester. Starkville drew crowds Saturday morning to the Cotton District for the Starkville Dachshund Derby, and the night ended with the third-largest on-campus attendance in NCAA baseball history at Dudy Noble Field.

Unrelated to the shooting, the department reported making 26 arrests during a short time frame on Saturday night.
