The Oxford Police Department<\/strong> has arrested one individual in connection with a recent robbery and shooting at a local hotel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 20, 2024, officers responded to a call reporting gunshots at a hotel room. Upon arrival, officers cleared the room but found no one inside. Officers were shortly notified that a victim had arrived to the emergency department at Baptist Memorial Hospital<\/strong> North Mississippi.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An investigation into the incident revealed that several individuals had been at the hotel room. A confrontation occurred, during which a suspect demanded money and brandished a firearm. A struggle ensued leading to gunshots being fired. The victim sustained non-life threatening injuries.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 22, 2024, officers on patrol located the suspect, Christopher Suggs Jr<\/strong> (18, of Oxford, Mississippi<\/strong>) and took him into custody without incident. Suggs was charged with Armed Robbery and Aggravated Assault.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m incredibly proud of the diligent work of our officers and investigators. Thanks to their dedication and quick action, we were able to bring this case to a resolution in less than 48 hours. Their commitment to keeping our community safe is evident in the way they handled this investigation,\u201d said Chief Jeff McCutchen<\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oxford Police Department is continuing its investigation and encourages anyone with information about the incident to come forward or call CrimeStoppers at 662- 234-8799.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
