Alexis Walker, 15, was fatally wounded in a shooting in Mound Bayou, Mississippi, on the evening of Saturday, April 4, 2026. Deputies were dispatched about 9:21 p.m. to Old Highway 61 and Luke Road after reports of a gunshot victim and found a black Honda Accord with its doors open in the southbound lane. Authorities discovered Alexis inside the vehicle; investigators later determined the shooting occurred at a residence at 202 Green Avenue.

A second 15-year-old suffered life-threatening injuries in the same incident. In the days after the shooting, two juvenile suspects from Mound Bayou were arrested: 16-year-old Joei Taylor, charged with murder and three counts of aggravated assault, and 17-year-old Travis Scott Jr., charged with accessory after the fact. Both are being held at the Bolivar County Regional Facility pending initial court appearances. The motive has not been released.

If anyone has information about Alexis, the scene at 202 Green Avenue that night, or the events leading up to the shooting, please come forward.
