FBI Arrests Four in Deadly Mississippi Mass Shooting That Killed Six
— The FBI announced Monday that four people have been arrested in connection with a weekend mass shooting in Leland, Mississippi, that left six people dead and more than a dozen injured.
Three individuals—Teviyon L. Powell, 29; William Bryant, 29; and Morgan Lattimore, 25—have been charged with capital murder, while a fourth suspect, Latoya A. Powell, 44, faces an attempted murder charge, according to a spokesperson for the FBI’s Jackson Field Office.
It was not immediately clear whether the suspects have retained legal representation. The Associated Press contacted the Washington County Public Defender’s Office seeking comment.
Deadly Violence During Homecoming Celebrations
The shooting occurred Friday night in downtown Leland as residents and visitors celebrated homecoming weekend following a high school football game. Authorities say the incident was the deadliest of multiple shootings across Mississippi over the weekend, including incidents at two universities in the state.
The FBI stated that the gunfire appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals”, though officials have not disclosed a specific motive.
“Other arrests are pending,” the FBI spokesperson said in an email Monday, emphasizing that the investigation into the rural northwest Delta town is ongoing.
Witnesses described a chaotic scene as gunfire erupted in the streets, sending hundreds of people running for safety. Emergency responders treated more than a dozen injured victims at local hospitals.
Authorities Respond and Investigation Continues
The mass shooting has left the small community reeling. Local and federal law enforcement agencies are working together to piece together the events that led to the deadly confrontation.
Washington County officials have urged anyone with information to come forward to aid the investigation.
“This is a tragic incident that has shaken our town to its core,” said a local official. “Our thoughts are with the families who lost loved ones, and we are working with federal authorities to ensure justice is served.”
The identities of the victims have not yet been released pending notification of family members. Authorities continue to warn residents to avoid the immediate area as law enforcement conducts interviews and gathers evidence.
A Pattern of Weekend Violence
Mississippi law enforcement has faced multiple violent incidents during homecoming festivities this year. While the FBI’s preliminary findings suggest a personal dispute triggered the Leland shooting, the deadly outbreak of violence highlights growing concerns about safety at public gatherings.
Officials are urging parents and community members to remain vigilant and report any suspicious behavior that could prevent further tragedies.
As investigations continue, the FBI and local police have pledged to provide updates on arrests and charges.
