The officers then subjected the victims to a “mock #execution,” which ended when #HunterElward mistakenly shot #MichaelCoreyJenkins in the mouth, lacerating his tongue & breaking his jaw, acc/to federal prosecutors.

The charges stemmed from a Jan 2023 *interaction with* [brutal attack on] #MichaelCoreyJenkins & #EddieParker when the group of 6 officers burst into their #RankinCounty #Mississippi home WITHOUT a #warrant & #assaulted them w/ stun guns, forced them to ingest liquids, punched & kicked them, called them #racist slurs, & worse.

#ChristianLeeDedmon fired his #gun TWICE during the incident in an attempt to #intimidate the victims, the #DOJ said in a 2023 news release.
