Three people were arrested in connection with the murder of two police officers — one a rookie — who were fatally shot Saturday evening during a traffic stop in the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg.

The incident prompted a statewide manhunt overnight, and led to a pair of brothers and a third suspect being arrested, authorities said.

The deaths of the officers are the first to hit the southern Mississippi city of Hattiesburg in three decades – and come amid a national debate on policing, race and the use of deadly force, following the recent killings of unarmed black men by police in Missouri, South Carolina and elsewhere.

The officers’ deaths also follow by a day the funeral of a New York City officer who was shot in the head while stopping a man suspected of carrying a handgun.

In a statement, the Hattiesburg Police Department said an “extensive” manhunt led to the capture of three suspects in different locations. They were identified as Marvin Banks, 29, who has been charged with two counts of capital murder, one count of grand theft auto and one count of a felon in possession of a firearm; Joanie Calloway, 22, who has been charged with two counts of capital murder; and Curtis Banks, 26, has been charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Three suspects have been charged in connection with the fatal shootings.

Marvin Banks, 29, has been charged with two counts of capital murder, one count of grand theft auto and one count of felon in position of a firearm.

Curtis Banks, 26, has been charged with two counts of accessory after the fact of capital murder.

Joanie Calloway, 22, has been charged with two counts of capital murder.

Police say Marvin Banks was taken into custody around 1:15 a.m Sunday after he was apprehended at North Gate Inn.

Around 3:00 a.m. Curtis Banks was apprehended at Plantation Place apartments.

Calloway was also taken into custody around the time of the shooting. According to officials, she was in the car with the two suspects.

Both Curtis and Marvin have Hattiesburg addresses, and live near the scene of the shooting. Both suspects also have prior records as offenders in the city of Hattiesburg.

Forrest County Coroner Butch Benedict confirmed both officers died because of injuries sustained in the shooting. Both officers were transported from the scene to Forrest General Hospital.

The shooting incident happened a little before 8:00pm Saturday. According to officials, the suspect fled the scene in an officer’s vehicle. It was found abandoned near the rail road tracks behind the train depot.
