Kordell Summers, a 27-year-old Black man from Port Gibson, was caught in gunfire in Natchez on October 8, 2025, in what his family described as a drive-by shooting. He survived the initial attack but died of his wounds on October 9, 2025. Born November 24, 1997, Summers had been moving between Natchez and Port Gibson in early October and was part of a close-knit family that organized memorials and a fundraiser to cover funeral and burial costs.

Funeral arrangements were handled by a Port Gibson funeral home, with services held October 25 at Saint Luke Christian Church on Highway 547 in Pattison, Mississippi. Public tributes and a gun-violence tribute page note the shooting date and place and emphasize the abrupt loss to family and community. Available public notices and the family’s appeals do not name any suspect or report an arrest, indictment, or charges in connection with the killing, leaving questions about who was in the vehicle that night and whether the perpetrators will be identified.

If anyone knew Kordell, saw activity in Natchez on October 8, 2025, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known.
