Four arrested in Mississippi homecoming football game mass shooting killing 6, hospitalizing 10

Four people have been arrested in connection with a Mississippi homecoming football game mass shooting that killed six, and hospitalized 10 injured.

Teviyon L. Powell, 29, William Bryant, 29, and Morgan Lattimore, 25, were charged with capital murder, and Latoya A. Powell, 44, was charged with attempted murder for Friday’s shooting, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Jackson Field Office said Monday, The New York Post reported. Other arrests are pending, according to authorities.

Leland Mayor John Lee previously told The Post that the shooting occurred around midnight on Friday.

The four people who died on the scene were identified by the county coroner as Oreshama Johnson, 41, Calvin Plant, 19, Shelbyona Powell, 25, and Kaslyn Johnson, 18, WBLT reported. Amos Brantley, 18, and JaMichael Jones, 34, later died from their injuries at the hospital.

Ten others, whose identities have not been released, were treated at the hospital.

Several of the victims were recent graduates of Leland High School who attended the annual reunion at the school’s homecoming football game.

Jennifer Buckner, who was a witness to the shooting, said that the gunfire came out of nowhere.

The first round was just a few quick shots that didn’t completely disrupt the party, but the shooting resumed several minutes later.

“It was maybe 10 minutes of consistent, perpetual, automatic rounds being let off,” Buckner told The Post. “It went on for so long. And people just started running.”

The FBI said the shooting appeared to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals,” but has not disclosed an exact motive.
