The suspect, Stanley Self Jr., is still at large and is considered armed and dangerous.
A $10,000 reward is being offered to anyone with information that leads to his arrest.
Trooper Ryan Watson was shot on Tuesday morning and is now in recovery.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is leading the investigation and is offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of Self.
Authorities are urging anyone with information on Self’s whereabouts to come forward and are reminding the public that Self should be considered armed and dangerous.
The community is being asked to be vigilant and report any suspicious activity.
