A Eupora man has been charged in connection with a shooting in which a woman was hit in the leg. A city officer arrested Daryl Lamont Redd, 38, on July 5 on a charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Redd, 38, was released from the Webster County Jail later that day pending an initial appearance at 4 p.m. Tuesday in Eupora Municipal Court. The shooting occurred about 1:15 a.m. July 5 at 208 Dunlap St., according to Webster 911 reports and an affidavit filed by Jordan Alexander Gaston.

Police Chief Gregg Hunter said the shooting remains under investigation. A family member said Stevenson underwent surgery at North Mississippi Medical Center and was released last Friday. The family member said she goes back for another surgery this Friday.
