Deputies investigate man beaten, stripped over racial slur at MS club
MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Deputies are investigating an incident involving a man who was beaten, stripped, and robbed for allegedly yelling racial slurs inside a Holly Springs club on Sunday. Lt. Colonel Kelly McMillen with the Marshall County Sheriff's Office says the investigation into the reported beating of a White man at a popular African American club in Holly Springs called C.J.'s Lounge is ongoing. 'At this point, that's a critical part of this investigation because we have heard the same thing. However, we want to make sure that is exactly what happened, and if it is, that will be reacted on as well,' said Lt. Colonel McMillen. Former Monroe County district judge sentenced to federal prison for obstruction 'I was hearing him yell out and blare out the N word repeatedly,' said Myles Stone, part-time DJ and security at C.J.'s Lounge. 'Everyone on planet earth has to live with their choices, and he walked in there with a choice to be very hateful, very negative.' Investigators say they believe the incident started inside C.J.'s Lounge and spilled out into this courtyard. This is where investigators say the victim was beaten, robbed, and stripped of his clothing while a number of people recorded and laughed. 'The victim, unfortunately, his jaw's busted open, his eye's busted. He's just in a terrible state of mind right now,' said Lt. Colonel McMillen. 'We're trying to adopt some search warrants, get those done, and see if we can retrieve information from those social media accounts.' Clayborn Temple fire ruled arson; person sought C.J.'s Lounge has been closed by the city because of the incident and the number of previous complaints. WREG has reached out to the owner of the club for a comment but has not received a response. We're told the victim has been released from the hospital in New Albany and is being interviewed by investigators again.

Gang activity believed to be reason for Holly Springs shooting
MARSHALL COUNTY, Miss. — A group of shooters accused of putting the lives of multiple people in danger is on the run. Now, one law enforcement officer told WREG that if these people aren't arrested soon, violence could strike again. 'These individuals shouldn't be taken lightly,' Commander Kelly McMillen said. 'They shot these people's house up. There's no remorse for life.' Commander McMillen said it happened February 12 just after 2 a.m. on Bonner Street in Holly Springs. 'We have experienced multiple shootings here in Holly Springs and based on those investigations, what we understand and learned and developed, a lot of those individuals are either teenagers or very young adults,' McMillen said. Armed juveniles accused of fighting Superlo employees Deputies said they found 15 to 20 shell casings inside the home. 'There was an elderly female who was in a wheelchair. When she started hearing the rounds coming inside the house, she abandoned her wheelchair and fell face first on the floor,' McMIllen said. McMillen added that he was shocked that no one was hurt. 'Three other adults in the upstairs area inside the residence took cover and then one of those adults took a minor child and kinda covered him to keep him from being struck by gunfire,' McMillen said. Investigators said they have some clues about the gunmen but not enough to arrest anyone. Woman, toddler injured after man shoots into home 'We believe that there is some gang activity involved in this,' McMillen said. 'One of these incidents happened while vehicles were passing in the road. It's not like they target a central location; they target wherever they see these individuals at.' McMillen said that's why it's important for anyone who may know anything about the Bonner Street shooting or any of the other Holly Springs shootings to call investigators. 'Until we make some arrests, we do believe there could be other incidents that could take place,' McMillen said.
