Treyvone Young was a 15-year-old student and athlete at Northeast Lauderdale High School who was shot and killed on December 24 in Lauderdale, Mississippi, one day before his 16th birthday. The shooting occurred around 7:10 p.m. in the 9500 block of Northeast Cole Road while Young was at a family member’s home; two other people shot that evening, 64-year-old Johnnie L. Mosley and 48-year-old Shunda Faye Brown, also died of their wounds.

Authorities arrested 50-year-old Joseph Spinks of Toomsuba and initially charged him with one count of murder and two counts of attempted murder; after Mosley and Brown died the charges were upgraded to three counts of murder. Investigators described the shooting as targeted and said Spinks knew at least one of the victims. At the time of his arrest Spinks was out on a felony DUI charge and his bonds were revoked; the sheriff’s office said it was also seeking a second person of interest.

If anyone has information about what happened that night or knew Treyvone, please come forward to assist the investigation.
