A suspect described as “armed and highly dangerous” is at large in Brookhaven.

Shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 14, a man approached an East Chickasaw Street resident and demanded money, according to Police Chief Kenneth Collins.  The man shot her in the chest and fled toward East Monticello Street, where he then robbed Family Dollar, and fled again.

Identified as Timothy Terrell Hudson, the suspect is still at large.

Collins said the shooting victim was airlifted to a Jackson hospital, and was alert and talking at the time.

Hudson, 31, is described as a black male, dressed all in black except for a red or maroon cap.

“The police department, the Sheriff’s Office, Highway Patrol and Mississippi Bureau of Investigation are working together to locate Hudson,” Collins said. “Under no circumstances should any member of the public approach him if they see him. We don’t know what type of drugs he may be on or what he will do. Call law enforcement.”

Anyone with information on Hudson whereabouts is asked to call BPD at 601-833-2424 or call 911.
