Jacksonville man arrested in connection to 2024 deadly shooting<\/p>\n

Published 2:24 pm Tuesday, January 27, 2026<\/p>\n

A Jacksonville man who has been wanted for nearly two years was arrested last week by the Cherokee County Sheriff\u2019s Office.<\/p>\n

Randarriuz Dewberry, 20, of Jacksonville, was located by officers during a traffic stop conducted by the Texas Highway Patrol on FM 346 outside of Bullard. Dewberry was wanted by the Cherokee County Sheriff\u2019s Office for his role in a deadly shooting on Feb. 14, 2024, off County Road 1804, which left Jayden Polk deceased. Dewberry had been on the run since the night of the shooting.<\/p>\n

Dewberry is charged with two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon stemming from the night of the shooting, as well as additional charges of evading arrest or detention and failure to identify, with failure to appear charges attached.<\/p>\n

Dewberry\u2019s bonds total $1,085,000 in surety bonds, along with $10,000 cash bonds for failure to appear charges.<\/p>\n

Dewberry is the second person arrested in connection with the homicide, according to Sheriff Brent Dickson.<\/p>\n

Isiah Mallord, 20, of Jacksonville, was arrested on a murder charge in February 2024 in connection with the shooting.<\/p>\n
