An afternoon shooting on a rural Scott County road claimed two lives on November 19, 2025. Todd Rashaud, an 18-year-old male from Forest, Mississippi, and 19-year-old Deionteque Thyun Strong were found on King Road after deputies responded to reports of gunfire around 4 p.m. Both victims had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene.

The Scott County Sheriff’s Office transported the bodies to the Mississippi State Crime Lab for autopsy and opened an active investigation. Deputies collected evidence at the scene and sought to interview potential witnesses, but no suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced. The motive for the shooting has not been released.

If anyone was on or near King Road that afternoon or has information about either victim’s movements before 4 p.m., please contact the Scott County Sheriff’s Office.
