The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO), in partnership with Crimestoppers of Tangipahoa, is increasing the reward being offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in a double homicide case from July.

Just before 5 a.m. on July 23, 2024, a woman called 911 reporting having been shot at a mobile home in the 600 block of M.L.K. Street. Law enforcement arrived to discover the woman, Chrissy Jenkins, and her live-in boyfriend, Christopher Hedgewood, both dead from gunshot wounds. The couple were both in their late 20s.
