Two 16-year-olds from Lanier High School were found shot to death in Hinds County, Mississippi. Terry Burrell Jr., known as TJ, and classmate Khloe Hudson were discovered in a wooded area off South Springdale Road around noon on March 30, 2026, after being reported missing within the previous 24 hours. Sanitation workers made the discovery and the Hinds County Sheriff’s Office says both victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds; authorities are treating the incident as a double homicide and say it does not appear random and may have been targeted.

The Hinds County Sheriff’s Office is leading the investigation with assistance from Jackson and Capitol police departments. No suspects or motive have been publicly identified; investigators are asking anyone with information to come forward. Terry’s family describes him as a faith-centered sophomore who loved the Bible and basketball and dreamed of playing in the NBA. A GoFundMe has been set up to help with funeral and memorial expenses.
