The victim of the aggravated Assault/Armed Robbery is being identified as Steven K Holley age 46 of Thrasher. He died this morning from the wounds he suffered during the Assault and Robbery. He was initially transported to Baptist Memorial Hospital in Booneville then Air Lifted to North Mississippi Medical Center in Tupelo. He remain there until he died. Prentiss County Authorities traveled to Sommerville Tennessee yesterday morning and transported the second suspect in the case back to Prentiss County. He had been arrested the previous night at a Walmart by Agents with The United States Marshals Services Fugitive Apprehension Task Force. Agents recovered a mobile meth lab and a 9mm pistol from the automobile they were traveling in. The pair of suspects were charged with Aggravated Assault/Armed Robbery and Grand Larceny in the matter but due to the fact that the Holley passed away, the charges are being upgraded to Capital Murder. The first suspect, Jeremy Huguley had already had an initial appearance and his bond had been set at $500,000, but will be raised once the charges are upgraded. We are still tying up several loose ends and expect to have the investigation rapped up very soon. It is very tragic any time someone looses their life. Many people (Family, Friends, Etc.) suffer from such senseless killings. I am very pleased at the way this investigation played out. It took many people working many hours to get everything wrapped up.



Thank you, all Press Agencies for your coverage of this incident. It played a part in our apprehension of the suspects.

Sheriff Randy M Tolar
