August 23rd:

Rodney Johnson, a 54-year-old Black male, was shot and killed. A 37-year-old female was arrested and charged. However, the charges were dropped on September 2nd due to a lack of evidence.

June 23rd:

Danny Andrew Smith was shot to death while operating a tractor at the edge of the town.

Two unnamed suspects, ages 8 and 9, were charged with involuntary manslaughter due to criminal negligence. Police say they were firing off a gun wildly and hit Smith.
