Deputy Bailey had responded to a disturbance call near a local convenience store off of Highway 18 near Hermanville, MS, just shortly after midnight. Deputy Bailey was working to disperse a crowd that had gathered after a festival when shots were fired. He and a civilian bystander were struck. Both Deputy Bailey and the civilian were taken to a nearby hospital. Deputy Bailey succumbed to his wounds later that morning.
