A dispute in Greenville, Mississippi, on the morning of Saturday, February 22, 2025, ended with 24-year-old Zhaire Green dead from a gunshot wound to his upper body. Officers found Green around 1 a.m. in the 2400 block of East Alexander Street; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Known to friends and family as Zee or Ziggy, Green was born April 11, 2000, and remembered for his athleticism in several sports and a passion for horses.

Witnesses at the scene identified 29-year-old Joseph Norris, Jr. as the person who argued with Green immediately before the shooting. After the altercation, Norris allegedly shot Green and then went to his father’s residence on Union Street, where an additional shooting incident occurred. Police located Norris at that address; he tried to flee through a back door but was taken into custody. He was charged with first-degree murder in Green’s death and aggravated assault in the shooting of his father.
