Three Indicted in Arlington Shootout

May 10, 2021 – Three men have been indicted on multiple felony charges stemming from a shootout during a drug deal last year in Arlington that left one man dead and three wounded, said Shelby County Dist. Atty. Gen. Amy Weirich.

The three defendants – Delmarc Hollingsworth II, 27, of Trenton, and brothers Anterion Springfield, 18, and Montre Jeter, 20, both of Brownsville – were indicted on counts of second-degree murder, reckless endangerment, and possession of a controlled substance.

Hollingsworth also was indicted on felony counts of convicted felon in possession of a firearm and tampering with evidence.

They were indicted on April 29, but the indictments did not become public until they were taken into custody Thursday by the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office Fugitive Apprehension Team and the U.S. Marshals Gulf Coast Regional Fugitive Task Force.

The incident occurred last Dec. 7 on the parking lot of McDonald’s at 11590 Highway 70 in Arlington where the defendants had arranged to buy marijuana from two others. During the transaction, however, an altercation erupted when the defendants tried to pay with counterfeit money. In an exchange of gunfire, 19-year-old Anthony Grayson was killed by multiple gunshots. A companion who worked at McDonald’s was wounded in the leg as he ran for cover.

Hollingsworth drove away and later dropped off Springfield and Jeter at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Tipton in Covington where they were treated for gunshot wounds.
