Two Jackson men have been arrested in two separate incidents and charged with capital murder in the shooting death of Lisa Nguyen at Hattiesburg’s Steelman Grocery.
Jatyran “Tug” Tuggle
Just before noon Friday, July 26, Hattiesburg Police, with the assistance of the U.S. Marshal’s Fugitive Task Force and Jackson Police, arrested Jatyran “Tug” Tuggle, 20, at a home in the 2100 block of Gaites Lane in Jackson.
Jaquarious “Quay” Randle
Then, Jaquarious “Quay” Randle, 20, was taken into custody at a car wash in the 900 block of I-20 Frontage Road in Jackson.
Tuggle and Randle were transported back to the Hattiesburg Police Department for questioning. Then they each were charged with capital murder, criminal street gang activity, and aggravated assault.
The two were transported and booked into the Forrest County Jail, where they will await their initial appearance.
The investigation is ongoing, and no other information is available at this time.
Hattiesburg Police Chief Anthony Parker
Hattiesburg Police Chief Anthony Parker thanked the entire Hattiesburg Police Department and Criminal Investigation Division on working to solve the Lisa Nguyen homicide.
“Today, we have taken a major step forward in bringing all persons involved in this heinous act of violence to justice,” he said. “We will not tolerate this kind of senseless violence and disregard for human life. I want every criminal element who thinks they can come into the City of Hattiesburg and commit these types of crimes to know we will not rest until we track you down, and bring you to justice.”
Parker said the Nguyen and Paige families should not have to endure the loss and pain of a loved one.
“We continue to ask that anyone in the public with any information, please, do the right thing and come forward to help get justice for these families,” he said.
