A Hinds County grand jury indicted Dontarius Magee for the savage kidnapping and shooting of a Lyft Driver on November 2, 2021.
JJ reported on November 3, 2021:
Dontarius Magee hired Lyft to take him from Spring Lake Apartments in Byram to the Advantage Apartments off McWillie Circle in Jackson. Once Magee entered the Lyft vehicle, he took control of the vehicle from the driver and held her at gunpoint. Magee drove to a wooded area off of Beasley Road. He took her into the woods, shot her seven times, and left her to die.
Brandi Littrell somehow managed to get to a nearby apartment complex and asked for help. Magee was only 17 years old. Just a kid trying to kill women for fun.
Magee confessed to the charges. The grand jury indicted him for armed robbery, kidnapping, armed carjacking, and attempted murder in December 2022. Magee is still in custody. He was arraigned on February 8.
Ms. Littrell posted this update on the public part of her Facebook page in June 2022:
So Friday I did a thing…I wasn’t really sure if I was going to share with the world what happened because so many people act like I’m glass that is going to break when it comes to the subject of me getting shot. What most people don’t realize is I’m not scared and fragile as much as I am pissed and angry. So with that said…Wednesday I got a call from JPD detective asking me if I was willing to show them where I was shot so They could have the FBI go in with metal detectors and try to find bullet casings and take pictures and I was like absolutely. I will absolutely do ANYTHING to make sure you have EVERYTHING you POSSIBLY need to make sure that MFer never sees the light of day again!!Friday xxxx xxx xxxxxxx drives me to the police station in downtown Jackson where we have to meet the detectives and FBI agents. Me and xxxxx xxx ride with the FBI victims specialist. We get to the apartment complex and the spot where I entered the woods. xxxx xxx asked me if I was ok. I was fine because at this point you have to know I went though these woods in November it’s now June. Everything is now green. Whereas in November everything was brown and dead. So at first I didn’t even think we were in the right place. So it also just rained too by the way. Keep that in mind as I tell this story. So we start through the woods and at first they didn’t want me to go in so they asked questions on what to look for. So I said when you first walk in do you see the drop off and they saw that and I said you keep walking and you will come to some dead logs and they got stomped by which dead logs so that’s when I needed to go in. Two of the detectives were helping me down the drop off when I slipped on some mud and one of the detectives caught me. xxxxx xxx bless her heart asked if I wanted her to come with me and I was like no I’m ok. This is where it’s important to remember it just rained because I wasn’t about to let my friend who was supportive enough to be there for me slip and fall and hurt herself because she was trying to be an extra supportive friend. So anyway after sliding through the woods I found the spot I was shot again almost unrecognizable because it was all green but that log I will never forget that log as long as I live. So I told the officers that this is the log I put my hands on when I went to get on my knees before the first shot went off that went in my left thigh. And the rest went from there. Then the officer helped me back out of the woods and it was the same JPD detective that came to my hospital room and I told him it’s amazing how I made it out of these woods shot 7 times by myself with a broken shoulder but now I need help in and out. He said “it’s all God” and then he said that he’s talked to his wife about my case so many times and how amazed they are by how great God works.
Looking at those woods now I know without a shadow of a doubt that God got me out of those woods because baby let me tell you Brandy did not get her fat ass out those woods by herself I can tell you that much I learned that Friday. Rain or no rain there was just no way I did that alone. With a broken shoulder!!! If you don’t believe in God I can absolutely tell you that he is real and that he moved those bullets to only hit a bone and fat and he helped me out those woods because there’s no way that I did that alone!!So the FBI went in took pictures and didn’t find bullet casings wasn’t really expecting them to since it had been 8 months since I was shot. I really wish they would have asked me to do this in December.I really do have the best friends!! I don’t deserve them 99% of the time despite what they may say. xxxxx xxx always has my back no matter what is going on she always try’s to find a way to be there for me and I don’t know what I would do without her.
The case is assigned to Hinds County Circuit Judge Deborah Gibbs.

Jackson has a homicide rate of 1 in 1,000 people. I couldn't imagine taking a job where you let random Jacksonians in your car. Glad she made it out alive.
Why does it take so long for ANYTHING to happen around here??? There is NO justice
You gotta be a special "Evil Knievel" kind of daring and crazy to drive a Lyft or Uber in Jackson, Mississippi.
This POS is changing my mind about abortions.
Read the story. JPD was still investigating in July. Figure another month or two before turning file over to DA. DA prepares case and goes to grand jury in December.
The real question is why was JPD finally looking for bullets, as the victim said, in July instead of December.
When we raise hell about a shortage of detectives, this is where it affects prosecutions.
She picked up the passenger in Byram.
Looking for shell casings 10 months after the crime...? 🤔
Kingfish, JPD should have been on site the NEXT day looking for evidence
a feral
Lumumba's JPD exists for appearances sake only. He'd erase the entire department in a minute if he felt he could get away with it without the state stepping in.

It’s always a manlet!
9:56 - Absolutely correct. He is completely anti-police. He is also anti-transparency. WHERE ARE THE CRIME STATS?
@9:56 AM - Partly true, but he would keep a cadre of 25-30 boot licking officers to be his palace guards/drivers/errand boys/garbage taker-outers, etc.
Just off "old sparky."
Jackson has slowly lost all of its good crime scene investigators to surrounding agencies over the last few years. That would probably have something to do with the delayed CSI. Bless her for having to endure all of that.

So the entire command staff with no foot patrols?
10:12 AM
Throw him in the manlet pit!
Two months to turn a file over to the D.A.? Can you explain yourself Kingfish? You're good at implying shortage of staff but poor at mentioning incompetent and lazy.
I agree with 9:56 1000%. Everyone knows the only people who have benefited from him being in office are violent criminals and himself.
If what I witnessed at the beginning of Tuesday’s council meeting was indeed Lumumba’s deliberate refusal to (a) recite the Pledge of Allegiance and (b) remain in a room where the Pledge is being recited, I would offer one additional opinion to those in the comments above; and, that is, this mayor is decidedly anti-American.
I’m confused. Does JPD not have cameras or metal detectors?
Ms Liddell is strong beyond measure in all ways. I’ll bet she can do anything. God bless her and let her be on my side when sides get chosen.
They really need to bring back the death penalty for this whole country and along with that they need to end all the years of waiting and make sure that every case where there is absolutely no doubt who the criminals are, the sentence is upheld in no longer than 6 months. Along with bringing back the death penalty across the whole united states, making murders, child molesting's, rapes and kidnappings, all automatic death penalty crimes also at that time they should do away with lethal injection and strictly use the electric chair for all criminals who are getting the death penalty, along with doing this they should also put all executions on social media for all to watch so those like minded criminals (those with minds like the individual sitting in the electric chair) will be able to see exactly what everyone else will see when it's their turn to sit in the hot-seat if they fail to learn from the mistake of the criminal they are watching as about ten thousand volts are shot into that criminals ass!!! If these steps were to be taken in our country, anyone with more than a single digit I.Q. will understand that the crime rate in this country would most assuredly go through a dramatic drop while also freeing up police to handle other crimes along with also freeing up much needed prison space especially if they were to make these changes to include every inmate in our correctional system thus making a line of every murderer along beside every inmate who is in prison for rape or child molesting!! Once all those inmates have been put into the hole they should have been put in when they were first convicted of their evil choices there will be quit a bit more room in the prisons as well as a lot more funds to help those inmates who have not committed the vile crimes that would call for the mandatory death sentence!!! This could save our country and make for a much better country in the end!!!
