COMO, Miss. — Arrest warrants have been issued for man in connection with the murders of two Como women Friday night.
The warrants, for murder, are for Quendarius Robinson of Batesville.

Family said Cerea Jackson’s two young children were home when the murders took place.
Police say they have warned Robinson’s family not to try and help him hide.
The MBI is helping with the investigation.
Officers got a call a little before 9 p.m. Friday saying the two women had been shot.
Emma’s sister, Jennie Green, told WREG Cerea’s son was the one who got help.
“My nephew, he’s four-years-old, ran out the house, next door and told them they had been shot,” said Green.
If you see Robinson or know where he is, contact the Como Police Department at 662-519-1290 or Investigator Hale at 662-578-1065.
While law enforcement searches for Robinson, family of the victims are trying to cope with their loss.
“That was my baby and my mom.”
From her front porch on a rainy Sunday afternoon Eloise Jackson shared her heartache. Her mother, Emma Jackson and her daughter, Cerea Jackson, are gone.
“As good as my mom had been to him, my daughter she did everything she could,” said Eloise.
For Eloise the last few days have been a nightmare.
“It’s like a dream that I can’t get out of,” she said.
“Why didn’t you just think? Think about what you were doing before or just walked away before you did what you did?” she questioned.
Now Eloise is taking care of the children, who she said are confused.
“Where’s mama? When is she going to come home? ” >
Despite her hurt, Eloise acknowledges both families are suffering and plans to work with Quentarius’ family for her grandchildren.
“No matter what the circumstances we have been through or we are going through they’re there. They are there for their grand babies. ”
Throughout the small Como community both victims, Emma and Cerea, were known for their giving and nurturing spirits. Eloise said while she feels lost without them now, she’s looking to faith for direction.
“I pray to God, he gonna take me through this. He gonna take. He’s got his hand around me. He is gonna guide me the right direction.”
