Authorities have apprehended four individuals in relation to a tragic shooting in Mississippi that resulted in six fatalities and over 20 injuries during a high school homecoming weekend event.

According to the FBI’s Jackson Field Office, Teviyon Powell, 29, William Bryant, 29, and Morgan Lattimore, 25, face charges of capital murder, while Latoya Powell, 44, has been charged with attempted murder.

The violent episode occurred around midnight on Saturday in Leland’s downtown area, a quaint city in Washington County, shortly after the local high school’s homecoming football game. Investigators suspect the incident was triggered by a personal conflict, but the FBI has yet to establish a definitive motive.

At the scene, four victims were declared dead, with evidence of the chaos left behind in the form of abandoned footwear and bloodstains. Two additional victims succumbed to their injuries after being transported to the hospital.

The victims were identified by the county coroner as Oreshama Johnson, 41; Calvin Plant, 19; Shelbyona Powell, 25; Kaslyn Johnson, 18; Amos Brantley, 18; and JaMichael Jones, 34, according to local outlet WBLT.

On Sunday, the FBI released a “seeking information” poster featuring four suspects with unknown identities. Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves shared those images on X, writing that those responsible would be “brought to justice.”

“This is not who we are as a community,” Leland Mayor John Lee said. “Our hearts are broken for these families.”

The FBI, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and local police continue to investigate and said more arrests are possible.

Elsewhere in Mississippi, two people — including a pregnant woman — were found dead Friday night on a high school campus in Heidelberg, a small town in Jasper County. The shooting occurred after Heidelberg High School’s homecoming game, officials said.

An 18-year-old man has been arrested and charged with two counts of murder and illegal possession of a firearm on school grounds, according to the Jasper County Jail, as reported by The Associated Press.

Another shooting unfolded Saturday evening at Alcorn State University in Claiborne County, where three people were shot and one died, according to the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation.

Police responded to reports of gunfire near the university’s industrial technology building following Alcorn’s homecoming football game, which drew more than 7,000 fans. No arrests had been announced as of Monday.
