The Picayune Police Department and Pearl River County Crime Stoppers announced a $5,000 reward for anyone providing information on the murder of Kema Dione Keys, 38, of 606 ½ Buren Ave. The new reward is $4,000 more than the previous amount of $1,000.

No suspect has been identified.

“We continue to diligently pursue the suspect or suspects involved in this horrendous crime,” said Picayune Police Chief Bryan Dawsey. “We have teamed up with the Pearl River County Crime Stoppers and they have agreed to raise the reward to $5,000 for information leading to the arrest of the suspect or suspects involved.

“I am personally asking anyone with information on this crime to call Crime Stoppers at 601-799-CLUE (2583),” Dawsey said.
