HUMBOLDT MOTHER CHARGED WITH MURDER IN SHOOTING DEATH OF TWO-YEAR-OLD

A Humboldt woman has been charged with first-degree murder following the shooting death of her 2-year-old child Thursday, according to the Humboldt Police Department.

According to a release from the department, officers responded Aug. 27 to a report of an unresponsive child who was bleeding at a residence in the 2100 block of Campbell Street. When officers arrived, they found the child’s mother, Ephreana Brady, on the front porch holding the unresponsive child, who had suffered a gunshot wound. Brady was also holding a handgun to her own head.

Officers were able to remove both the child and the firearm from Brady, according to police. The child was transported by ambulance to Jackson-Madison County General Hospital, where the child later died from the gunshot wound.

Brady has been charged with first-degree murder and employing a firearm during the commission of a dangerous felony.

The investigation was conducted by the Humboldt Police Department Criminal Investigation Division with assistance from the district attorney’s investigator for the 28th Judicial District.

The investigation remains ongoing.

ARRESTS MADE IN CONNECTION TO SUNDAY EVENING SHOOTING

Two people have been arrested following a shooting Sunday, Aug. 16, in Humboldt that police say stemmed from a narcotics transaction that went wrong.

According to a release from the Humboldt Police Department, officers investigated a shooting in the area of South 19th Avenue and Burrow Street. Three individuals were shot and subsequently ran to the area of Maple Street and North 19th Avenue, where they were located and airlifted for emergency medical treatment. All three victims were reported to be in stable condition.

Investigators found illegal narcotics and multiple shell casings at the crime scene. During the investigation, police determined the shooting occurred during a narcotics purchase in which two fi****ms were displayed, leading to gunfire and injuries, according to the department.

Investigators identified two individuals who allegedly possessed fi****ms during the incident: a 15-year-old juvenile and 22-year-old Quandurius Campbell. Campbell had active arrest warrants out of Milan at the time of the shooting and has a prior felony conviction.

Campbell was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, possession of a weapon by a convicted felon, possession of a weapon during the commission of a dangerous felony and possession of narcotics with intent to sell.

The 15-year-old juvenile was charged with attempted aggravated robbery and unlawful possession of a weapon by a juvenile.

The investigation was conducted by the Humboldt Police Department's Criminal Investigation Division with assistance from the 28th Judicial District Attorney's investigator and the United States Marshals Task Force. The case remains active, and police said additional charges may be forthcoming as evidence is reviewed.

Anyone with information about the incident is asked to contact the Humboldt Police Department at 731-784-1322 or Crime Stoppers at 731-424-8477.
