A homecoming block party on Main Street in Leland, Mississippi, ended in a mass shooting on October 10, 2025. JaMichael Jones, 34, a Black man who was among the crowd that night, was critically wounded in the gunfire, transported to a regional hospital, and later died of his injuries. The attack left seven people dead and more than a dozen wounded; victims ranged from teenagers to people in their forties.

Local, state and federal agencies responded to the scene. Investigators say the violence appears to have grown out of a personal dispute rather than being random. In the weeks after the shooting authorities arrested several people; by late October at least nine were in custody and multiple individuals were charged, including Teviyon L. Powell, William Bryant, Morgan Lattimore and Terrogernal S. Martin on capital murder charges, and Latoya A. Powell on attempted murder charges.

Anyone who was at the block party or who knew JaMichael Jones and can help fill in what happened that night is asked to share information with investigators.
