A law enforcement official says three people have been arrested and two of them have been charged with capital murder in the fatal shootings of two Mississippi police officers during a weekend traffic stop in Hattiesburg.

Marvin Banks, 29, and 22-year-old Joanie Calloway have each been charged with two counts of capital murder, and Banks’ 26-year-old brother, Curtis Banks, has been charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Dead at their hands following a routine traffic stop, police say, were 25-year-old rookie cop Liquori Tate and decorated K9 officer Benjamin Deen, 34.

According to Mississippi Department of Public Safety spokesperson Warren Strain, Marvin Banks also faced other charges.

Strain says officers arrested the three Hattiesburg residents at different locations overnight without resistance following Saturday night’s fatal shooting.

According to WDAM, Marvin Banks was picked up by police around 1am early Sunday at the Northgate Inn hotel in Hattiesburg.

Hours later, around 3am, his brother Curtis was apprehended at Plantation Place apartment complex.

‘All three subjects were taken into custody without incident,’ Strain said, adding they were expected to face initial court appearances Monday. Because authorities said the three were being held at undisclosed jails in the state, they could not be reached for comment.

Reporters at the scene of Curtis Banks’ arrest asked if he killed the officers.

‘No sir, I didn’t do it,’ Banks said as he was led away by police.

Both Marvin and Curtis Banks reside close to the scene of the shootings in Hattiesburg, where each also has a history of criminal offenses including felony convictions and guns charges.

Marvin Banks was also charged with one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm and with grand theft for fleeing in the police cruiser after the shooting, Strain said.

‘He absconded with a Hattiesburg police cruiser. He didn’t get very far, three or four blocks and then he ditched that vehicle,’ Strain said.

Strain said the three suspects were traveling in a Hyundai vehicle when it was stopped and that shots were fired by ‘one individual’ from the vehicle.

He declined Sunday morning to say how many shots were fired or who had fired them. He also said any information about the officers’ actions or what prompted the stop ‘would be premature to talk about’ only hours into the investigation.
