Zamarkus Kentrell Brister, 22, was fatally shot following an altercation inside Reagans Corner Convenience Store at 640 U.S. Highway 98 in the Kokomo community of Marion County, Mississippi. Deputies were called about gunfire around 1 p.m. on November 26, 2025; Brister, identified as being from Foxworth, Mississippi, was found wounded and later died at a local hospital. A 19-year-old, Verkese Dezmond Conerly of Tylertown, was also wounded and survived. Investigators say a dispute escalated into an exchange of gunfire inside the store, and both wounded men received on-scene medical treatment before transport.

After treatment, Conerly was taken into custody and booking records from November 26, 2025, show a murder charge plus three counts of aggravated assault. Authorities also arrested 17-year-old Coreyon Lamark Brister of Hattiesburg, charging him with manslaughter and two counts of aggravated assault in connection with the same incident. The investigation remains ongoing and no other suspects have been publicly identified.
