Second Arrest in Rebel Woods Shooting | Jackson News

A second suspect, Mielun Butler, has been arrested in connection with a deadly June 13 shooting on Rebel Woods Drive, where he allegedly killed Melvin Edwards inside his home during a heated argument. Charged with murder, Butler — a recent high school grad with a pregnant girlfriend — was deemed a flight risk and slapped with a $1 million bond after fleeing the scene and paying someone $300 to help him disappear. U.S. Marshals tracked him down in Vicksburg, and the judge cited their efforts and a warrant for his phone as key reasons for the high bail. Meanwhile, Cameron Mitchell, charged as an accessory after the fact, received a $100,000 bond despite a prior felony firearm conviction.
