In the early hours of July 8, 2026, police in Yazoo City, Mississippi, responded to gunfire on 1st Street and found 26-year-old Tagii Takey Nellums with a fatal gunshot wound to the midsection. His death was investigated as a homicide.

Nellums, born March 28, 2000, had previously been identified by the Yazoo City Police Department in February 2026 as a suspect in a shooting at a Citgo gas station and was considered armed and dangerous during that earlier investigation. Despite the public nature of his own killing, authorities released few details afterward; no arrests or charges have been announced and no suspects or persons of interest have been publicly named.

Who in Yazoo City might have seen or heard anything relevant that night on 1st Street?
