A surge of gunfire across Brookhaven, Mississippi on Memorial Day weekend left 16-year-old Kayden Mohon dead of a gunshot wound. Mohon was found at a residence at 933 Ozark Lane on the evening of Sunday, May 25, 2025, when the Lincoln County Coroner was called at about 6:23 p.m. It is unclear whether he was shot at that location or moved there after being wounded. Another person was also shot on Ozark Lane and taken to a local hospital by private vehicle and was expected to recover.

The incident was one of many shootings that night and into the early hours of the next day: a home and vehicle struck on Crooked Lane shortly after 6:41 p.m., a car shot on Mildred Street at 7:12 p.m., and another vehicle targeted on East Court Street at 7:53 p.m., with additional shootings on Rogers Circle, Industrial Park Road, Brant Trail and Marr Street. Brookhaven police described the incidents as likely connected and tied to ongoing gang activity. No suspects or arrests have been publicly identified in Mohon’s death as the investigation continues.
