A weekend shooting spree in Friars Point, Mississippi, left 14-year-old Marterion Magsby dead and several children wounded. On Sunday, March 22, 2026, Magsby was fatally shot on Sheriff Ridge Road in Coahoma County as victims were leaving a park when gunfire erupted.

Related incidents that day included a two-year-old struck in the leg by a bullet while riding in a car on Highway 61; that vehicle later crashed. A separate car was hit by gunfire but its occupants were uninjured. Authorities say the attacks appeared random and that suspects may have been traveling in a black sedan, possibly with more than one shooter involved.

The Coahoma County Sheriff’s Office is leading an active investigation with assistance from the ATF and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation. No arrests have been announced and officials have not released suspect descriptions or a motive. If anyone has information about the shootings, the sheriff’s office wants to hear from you.
