Cordarius Hobbs, a 17-year-old from Mississippi, is accused of killing 74-year-old Billy Blair and his 71-year-old wife Virginia Carol Blair on June 3 in Mendenhall. Following this incident, his brothers, Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs, allegedly attempted to shoot a deputy sheriff during a traffic stop on June 8. Covington County Chief Deputy Sheriff Ricky Lott reported that the brothers fled after being pulled over for a seat belt violation, leading to a high-speed chase that ended when their vehicle became stuck. During the encounter, Deputy Yates Rodney was shot in the shoulder and is now facing severe injuries that may prevent him from walking again. The Hobbs brothers have been charged with attempted capital murder and other offenses, while Cordarius Hobbs faces multiple charges, including two counts of capital murder.
