2019 Shooting Is Solved; Two Arrested for Assault

Last year, on the evening of April 22, 2019, deputies with the Jasper County Sheriff’s Office (JCSO) responded to a call of shots fired in the area of Mason Street and Benton Street.

Upon arrival they discovered that a large group of people gathered on Mason Street had been shot at by several individuals who were standing at the intersection of Benton and Fred Smith Street.
