A family celebration at West Side Park in Gulfport turned fatal on June 14, 2025. Around 5:30 p.m. gunfire was reported during the gathering; emergency responders took 33-year-old Rickey Damascus Durr of Magee to Memorial Hospital, where he died of a gunshot wound to the chest at about 6:00 p.m. Durr was Black and was described as not being involved in the dispute that precipitated the shooting.

Gulfport Police investigators say the shooting stemmed from an ongoing feud involving 32-year-old Kendall Jamal McCall of Jackson, who was identified as the suspect and had a warrant for first-degree murder after fleeing the scene. Authorities warned he should be considered armed and dangerous. On July 15, 2025, McCall surrendered and was taken into custody at the Harrison County jail with bond set at $1 million.

If anyone at West Side Park that evening or anyone with information about the dispute or the shooting can help, please come forward.
