The following press release had been provided by the Quitman Police Department regarding the shooting at Quail Run Apartments on Thursday, April 24, 2025:

On April 24, 2025, a shooting occurred on the property of Quail Run Apartments located within the city limits of Quitman, MS. A black male was shooting at a black female over unwanted advances made by him and that she rejected.

The black male has been as identified as Joe Anthony Davis, a resident of Quitman, MS, who lives in the Pine Apartments located in front of Quail Run Apartments along with his ex-wife.

Mr. Davis fired several shots in the direction of the young female, striking her once on her butt cheek and striking her vehicle several times. The young lady received non-life threatening wounds and will need surgery at a later date.

Mr. Davis left the scene of the crime immediately, and his directions and location are unknown at this time. He is wanted by the Quitman Police Department, and a warrant has been drawn up for his arrest.

Please know that if anyone comes in contact with or knows of his location, please contact local authorities. Mr. Davis is considered armed and dangerous and is already out on bond for a previous shooting and is awaiting grand jury on April 28, 2025.

Anyone that is found to be harboring or supporting him in any way shall be arrested.

Thanks to the Quitman Police Department for their timely response and working of the scene.

Thanks to Sheriff Anthony Chancelor and his deputies for the quick assistance in this matter.

THE FEMALE NAME IS LEFT OUT DUE TO THE NATURE OF THIS CRIME.
