Johnny Bingham, 71, was fatally shot on April 11, 2026, at a residence on Branch Street in Jackson, Mississippi, after stepping in to try to mediate a dispute between two men outside the home. Investigators say the argument escalated when one of the men, identified as 40-year-old Bryant Grays, produced a firearm and Bingham was struck by gunfire.

Officers searching the area located Grays hiding under a nearby residence on Palm Street and took him into custody without incident. Authorities have charged Grays with murder and possession of a firearm by a felon, and the Jackson Police Department continues to investigate the circumstances of the shooting.
