FIRST ON FOX: The Mississippi teen accused of killing an elderly couple in their home was no stranger to local deputies, who named him a suspect in "many" nearby burglaries and car thefts, according to an incident report obtained by Fox News Digital.

Billy Blair, 74, and his 71-year-old wife Virginia Carol Blair were allegedly killed by Cordarius Hobbs, 17, after he broke into their Mendenhall, Mississippi, home on June 3.

Family members of the teen said during a preliminary hearing in July that Hobbs did work for the Blairs for things like cleaning around the house before the alleged shooting.

Fox News Digital obtained an incident report from the Simpson County Sheriff's Department, which alleged Hobbs is a "troubled juvenile" who is a suspect in various other crimes in the area.
