Cortavious and Cortavion Hobbs face attempted capital murder charges after a traffic stop turned into a chase
The two brothers of a Mississippi teen accused of killing an elderly couple allegedly attempted to gun down a sheriff’s deputy, who police said will “never walk again,” in a separate incident just days later.
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.
