Three arrested on aggravated assault charges in Harrison County

On August 20, 2023 around 1:00 am, Biloxi Police responded to the 200 block of Caillavet Street in reference to a report of a fight.

As officers arrived on scene, multiple gunshots were fired and a vehicle was seen fleeing at a high rate of speed.

A traffic stop was initiated on the fleeing vehicle, leading to the discovery of a victim with a gunshot wound.

As officers shifted their focus to the shooting, they learned that multiple suspects were involved and potentially traveling together in a multi-colored sports car.

Additional officers started looking for and located a vehicle matching what the suspects were believed to be occupying.

A traffic stop was initiated within the City of D’Iberville, leading to the arrest of 28-year-old Clyderick Carlitez Blackston (Biloxi, Mississippi), 23-year-old Tyrone Jerane Riley (Biloxi, Mississippi), and 27-year-old Ladarrion Yhamad Payton (Ocean Springs, Mississippi).

Blackston, Riley, and Payton were all charged with two counts of Aggravated Assault. Justice Court Judge Albert Fountain was made aware of the incident and issued a bond of $500,000 ($250,000 per count) for each. All three suspects were later transported to the Harrison County Adult Detention Center and booked.

The victim of the shooting was transported to an area hospital for treatment of a non-life-threatening injury.
