Three people have been arrested in death of Mississippi teen raped, shot, and left on the side of the road
Three people have been arrested on capital murder charges related to an Mississippi 18-year-old girl being kidnapped, shot, raped and left on the side of the road. Last week, the Jackson police department had a press conference stating Dewitt Anderson, 34, Cedric Banks, 37, and Kaymia Blackmon, 19 are all in police custody according to WLBT. Amya Carey body was identified at the coroner’s office on March 24.
“They were the last ones that were seen with her, and so that is where our investigation started” Jackson Police Department Deputy Chief Deric Hearn said. The teen’s body was left with bullets on Feb. 15. A family member says the teen was picking up her friend, Blackmon, who was with her boyfriend, Anderson.
At some point, Anderson brother, Banks joined the group and they went to multiple locations during the night. Blackmon, Anderson, and Banks all reportedly attempted to engage in sexual activity with Carey but she turned down their advances. Once turning down the trio, Carey got into a fight with Blackmon and that’s when Anderson picked up a gun and shot the teen. After being injured, Carey was put in the backseat of her car where someone raped her. Carey was shot two more times before her body was left out of the car and left on the side of the road.
