MS Highway Patrolman Murdered: Three Arrested

Lt. Troy Morris worked the area of SW Miss where I have a farm. He pulled me over once when I rolled through a stop sign. I had a beer between my knees so he asked me to blow. He was polite and professional. I blew a .04 and he gave me a quick lecture about drinking and driving and let me go without a ticket.
About a year later I was farming produce and he stopped in at our packing shed. He asked if we had some seconds, or bruised melons or tomatoes that he could give to some older members of the community who were in need. We said of course. So every few days during the harvest he would stop by and we would fill up the trunk of his patrol car with produce that he would go deliver.
He was a gentleman and a fine officer. And a credit to law enforcement everywhere.
Lt. Morris was working his second job as a rural mail carrier when he was murdered Friday.
Lt. Morris was one year from retirement.

Morris was driving a U.S. Postal Service truck at about 4 a.m. Friday when he got a flat tire on Highway 61, Bailey said. Morris called MHP and the Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department to report the flat and asked if someone could be dispatched to watch the truck while he waited for the Postal Service to send another truck, Bailey said.

Glad they caught the garbage responsible. Wonder what their reasoning was, although in sure they didnt have one.

Were the killers white or black? I needed to know if I should care or not.
BOB crime, no care.

Sounds like a damn shame. By the names, I bet Lt. Morris spent much of his time trying to better them.

Shot as a mail carrier? What's wrong with people?
And not a single mural will ever be painted of this man.

That’s the real tragedy here. frickheads like Alton get held up as heroes while this guy fades away. Make no mistake, the race hustlers and politicians are the evil ones in all this.

I don’t get this part. I wonder if he felt like he was being followed. Or maybe it’s nothing and he just wanted a car there to warn other drivers of a stopped vehicle.

The mother of one of the suspects says it the fault of the Miss Dept of Corrections and his probation officer, mental illness and low IQ.....not shocked.
ADAMS COUNTY, Miss. (WLBT) -”I felt like... if they helped me when I reached out to them the times I did all of this was could have been prevented,” said Deedra Madison, Saturday. She is Damion Whittley’s Mother.
The 24-year-old is one of three people accused of murdering Mississippi Highway Patrol Lieutenant Troy Morris.
His mother said the last time she spoke to him was hours before the crime.
“I spoke to him on Thursday about getting his life together because he had got into trouble back in 2018 when he was on house arrest and probation with the Natchez probation office. I contacted them to get him help and to come check on him,” said Madison.
Whittley has a history of mental health problems and a low IQ according to his mother.
While on house arrest in Madison’s home, Whittley’s ankle monitor didn’t work properly.
Madison said she reported this problem to the probation officer, Melvin Davis, but nothing was done.
His mother could no longer get updates about his probation after Whittley changed his residential address.
“I’m not upholding Damion for anything he did. If he did it, he need to go to prison. But I just want Natchez and MDOC to know that they’re responsible for losing my child. They lost him to the streets. They never came to check on him. And to this day, they haven’t checked on him to see where he is. It’s like they don’t care,” said Madison.
MDOC has not commented on this case for now.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigations said Whittley is in Louisiana waiting to be transported back to Mississippi.
