On the evening of January 9, 2026, a sequence of shootings in and around Cedarbluff, Mississippi, left six people dead, including 61-year-old Samuel Bradley. Authorities say the suspect, 24-year-old Daricka M. Moore, began at a family home on David Hill Road where three men — Glenn Moore, 67; Quinten Moore, 33; and Willie Ed Guines, 55 — were found with fatal gunshot wounds to the head.

Moore is alleged to have then stolen a Ford F-150, gone to a second residence on Blake Road and fatally shot 7-year-old Mikiylia Guines after an attempted sexual battery; witnesses reported another child in the home was threatened. The final scene was a house on Siloam-Griffith Road near the Apostolic Church of The Lord Jesus, where Samuel Bradley and his brother, 63-year-old Rev. Barry Lynn Bradley, were found dead of gunshot wounds to the head.

Law enforcement arrested Moore that night at a roadblock and recovered a rifle and a handgun. He has pleaded not guilty to multiple charges including capital and first-degree murder, and a mental health evaluation has been ordered. Prosecutors have said they intend to seek the death penalty; motive remains under investigation.

Did anyone in Cedarbluff or Columbus recognize Samuel Bradley or his brother, or have information about movements that night?
