Kaslyn Johnson, an 18-year-old Black woman, was fatally shot during a mass shooting in downtown Leland, Mississippi, on Friday, October 10, 2025. The attack erupted shortly after midnight near North Main and Fourth Street as crowds were gathered for a block party that follows the local high school’s homecoming game. Hundreds fled when gunfire broke out; Johnson was among several people hit and was pronounced dead at the scene along with three other victims that night.

The incident became one of the deadliest recent mass violence events in the state, with the death toll later reaching seven and more than a dozen people wounded. A multi-agency investigation involving local police, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and the FBI sought digital media and tips from the public and described the violence as stemming from a dispute among several individuals. Arrests followed: Teviyon L. Powell, William Bryant, Morgan Lattimore, and Terrogernal S. Martin were charged with capital murder; Latoya A. Powell was charged with attempted murder; reporting indicated a total of nine arrests as the probe continued.

Did anyone who attended the block party or has footage from that night see anything that could help investigators connect the events leading up to the shooting?
