Cordarius Hobbs, 17, allegedly broke into the home of 74-year-old Billy Blair and his 71-year-old wife Virginia Carol Blair on June 3 in Mendenhall, Mississippi, and killed them, WLBT reported.
Just days later, on June 8, Cordarius Hobbs' brothers, Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs, allegedly tried to kill a Covington County, Mississippi, deputy. Covington County Chief Deputy Sheriff Ricky Lott told Fox News Digital the two men fled from deputies after a traffic stop that led to both Cortavious and Cortavion allegedly firing their weapons.
All three people are brothers, Mississippi Department of Public Safety Media and Public Relations Specialist Bailey Martin told Fox News Digital.
Lott said Cortavious and Cortavion were initially pulled over by Deputy Yates Rodney for a seat belt violation, saying the suspects were initially "cordial, friendly and light-hearted," adding the two men were coming back from a fishing trip.
The deputy sheriff also said that Cortavious and Cortavion had marijuana in the car, stating that Yates could see a blunt inside. When he questioned Cortavious and Cortavion about the drugs, Lott said the situation began getting tense.
