CROCKETT COUNTY – A joint investigation by special agents with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation and multiple law enforcement partner agencies has led to the indictment of a Jackson man in connection to a robbery and homicide that occurred Sunday in Bells.

On August 23rd, at the request of 28th Judicial District Attorney General Frederick Agee, TBI agents joined detectives from the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office in investigating the death of Shahed Rana Mohsin (DOB: 12/12/1989), who was found deceased at a business in the 5000 block of Highway 412. During the investigation, authorities developed information linking the suspect to a similar crime that occurred last week in Jackson.

Just after 1:30 p.m. on Sunday, investigators with the Jackson Police Department, along with agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), located Corey Houge (DOB: 01/02/1997) in the area of Lawrence Switch Road near Highway 70 in Jackson. Houge was wanted by JPD for an aggravated robbery and homicide that occurred at Ridgecrest Cellars on August 20th.

On August 24th, a Crockett County Special Grand Jury returned an indictment charging Houge with one count of First Degree Murder, one count of First Degree Murder in Perpetration of a Felony, one count of Especially Aggravated Robbery, four counts of Employing a Firearm During the Commission of a Dangerous Felony, and one count of Possession of a Firearm by a Convicted Felon. He is being held in the Madison County Jail without bond.

The TBI would like to thank the Crockett County Sheriff’s Office, the Bells Police Department, the Jackson Police Department, the Madison County Sheriff’s Office, the Tennessee Highway Patrol, the ATF, and the FBI for their assistance throughout the investigation and in the apprehension of Houge.

The charges and allegations referenced in this release are merely accusations of criminal conduct, not evidence. The defendant is presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt and convicted through due process of law.
