U.S. Marshals capture Jackson fugitive in Indiana
DOWNTOWN JACKSON — A man wanted in a July murder was captured Friday in Indianapolis, Ind., by U.S. Marshals, according to a release. Dontavious Hendrix was arrested without incident in Indianapolis after Marshals received a tip about his location, according to the release. Marshals say Hendrix was taken to the Marion County Jail to await extradition back to Tennessee. Hendrix was developed early as a suspect following the July death of Justin Williams, who was found shot multiple times in a yard on North Royal Avenue in Jackson. Williams was transported to the Madison County General Hospital where he later died. Investigators requested assistance from the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force, which is a wing of the U.S. Marshals Service and has offices in Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Tennessee. The Jackson office consists of Deputy U.S. Marshals and Investigators with the Jackson Police Department.
