Arrest Made in Amite Double Homicide

The Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office (TPSO) has announced the arrest on Friday (October 18, 2024) of 21 year-old Ryan Snow in connection with the July 23, 2024 double homicide in Amite. Snow has been booked on two counts of 1st Degree Murder and one count of Obstruction of Justice.

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.

Detectives have worked this case doggedly since it occurred and partnered with Crimestoppers of Tangipahoa to offer a reward for information which was increased to $10,000 last month. Few tips were received, but detectives recently got a break with forensic evidence that identified Snow as at least one suspect. 

“I am incredibly proud of our criminal investigations team for not letting up on their drive in this case,” said Sheriff Gerald Sticker, “While we are pleased to bring some level of justice to these victims and their families, the work is not done and our detectives will ensure full justice is served through our courts system.”

Sheriff Gerald Sticker asks anyone with additional information about this crime or any other suspects responsible, to contact the Criminal Investigations Office at 985-902-2008.
