A night of homecoming celebrations in Leland, Mississippi, ended in tragedy on October 10, 2025, when a mass shooting at a downtown block party killed 19-year-old Calvin Lil Calvin Plant and several others. The shooting erupted around midnight at Fourth Street and North Main Street after a reported disagreement among several individuals; more than a dozen people were also injured. Social media footage captured chaotic scenes of the frantic crowd and victims in the street.

Plant, a Black male described by a family member as funny and respectful, was the baby of his family and his father’s only child. The community responded with shock as local, state, and federal law enforcement launched a multi-agency investigation into the deadliest mass shooting in the area’s recent memory. Several arrests were announced and authorities created a digital media tips portal to collect photos and videos from the incident.

If anyone was at the block party or has photos or video from that night, can you share what you saw or recorded?
