In the Pine Belt region of Mississippi, a man named Drexler Johnson, who is 37 years old, has been arrested in connection with a tragic triple homicide that happened on New Year’s Day in the town of State Line. According to online jail records, Johnson was recently transferred to the Jackson County Adult Detention Center. The move reportedly happened on January 15 and was made as a safety measure.
The horrific incident took place at Clark’s convenience store in State Line, where three people—Rhonda Denson, Lester Campbell, and Jason Thornton—were fatally shot. Authorities have charged Johnson with being an accessory after the fact to capital murder in connection to these deaths.
Since his arrest, Johnson’s bond has been denied, meaning he remains in custody. A preliminary hearing date has yet to be set, and officials have not provided updates about when that might happen.
Efforts to get official statements from representatives of the Jackson County District Attorney’s Office and the Greene County Sheriff’s Office have so far been unsuccessful. No one responded to questions from the media by Thursday night.
This case remains under investigation, and more details will be shared as they become available. It’s a heartbreaking story that has deeply impacted the community, and many are waiting for justice to unfold.
