Anthony Sexton, 37, was found dead from gunshot wounds in the street in the 300 block of South Broadway near Percy Street in Greenville, Mississippi. Officers discovered Sexton at about 3 a.m. on Friday, January 31, 2025, and he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Sexton’s killing occurred during a spike of violence that weekend in Greenville; another fatal shooting earlier that night killed 36-year-old Darrius Mitchell when the vehicle he was in was shot into, and a third murder also occurred that same weekend. As of early February 2025, no arrests had been announced in Sexton’s case and investigators described the motive as unclear. Local agencies said they would increase joint patrols and asked the public to share any information that could help the investigation.

If anyone knew Sexton or has information about his movements or who might have been in the South Broadway area that night, please come forward to the Greenville Police Department.
