A June 6, 2026 trail ride at Grant’s Field in Northwest Jackson, Mississippi, ended in gunfire shortly after 12:30 a.m. According to investigators, a dispute among several unidentified males escalated into a fight and then gunfire. When the shooting stopped, 18-year-old Joidan Worthy, a recent Canton High School graduate, had been killed by a single gunshot wound. Five other people were wounded; four were taken to hospitals and one suffered a minor graze and did not require admission.

The Jackson Police Department’s Robbery/Homicide Unit opened an intensive investigation, interviewing witnesses who reported the fight that preceded the shooting. Days later detectives arrested 18-year-old Amarien Carmichael; he is charged with one count of murder in Worthy’s death and five counts of aggravated assault for the injured victims, and made an initial court appearance with bond set at $3.5 million. The investigation remains active.

If anyone attended the trail ride or has information about the altercation or the shooting, please share what was seen or heard with investigators.
