A homecoming block party in downtown Leland, Mississippi, ended in mass shootings late on October 10, 2025, when gunfire erupted near North Main and Fourth Street around midnight. Oreshama Johnson, a 41-year-old Black man, was pronounced dead at the scene and was among the first of several immediate fatalities. The chaotic incident spanned multiple downtown blocks and left others wounded in the ensuing panic.

Authorities later confirmed the toll grew: at least 16 people suffered gunshot wounds and additional injuries occurred during the stampede to escape. The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the FBI joined the Leland Police Department on the investigation. Investigators say the violence arose from a dispute among several individuals rather than a random attack, and a series of arrests followed. Named on capital murder charges are Teviyon L. Powell, William Bryant, Morgan Lattimore, and Terrogernal S. Martin; Latoya A. Powell faces an attempted murder charge. The total arrests linked to the shooting reached nine.

Did anyone attend the homecoming or have photos or video from that night that could help piece together what happened?
