Washington, DC – The U.S. Marshals in the Northern District of Mississippi and the Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force are offering a reward of up to $10,000 for information leading to the arrest of a man suspected in the shooting of a Mississippi Highway Patrol officer today on Highway 61 in Bolivar County.
