A late-night shooting in Meridian, Mississippi, killed 17-year-old Lazarius Nodrickus Brown and wounded two others on June 24, 2025. The triple shooting occurred around midnight in the 4500 block of 25th Court; Brown was pronounced dead at the scene and two additional victims were critically injured. The Meridian Police Department’s violent crimes unit opened an investigation and described the event as an isolated incident, but did not release a motive or identify suspects.

That same night a disturbance at Ochsner Rush Health involving friends or family of one of the victims led to gunfire at the hospital and one arrest; it has not been established whether that arrest is connected to the 25th Court shooting. Police asked the community to provide any information that could help clarify what happened.

Did anyone in Meridian witness the shooting on 25th Court or see people leaving the area around midnight who might help investigators?
