A homecoming celebration in Leland, Mississippi, ended in tragedy when a dispute escalated into a mass shooting on October 10, 2025. The downtown crowd was struck by gunfire; numerous people were wounded. Twenty-five-year-old Ebanee Williams was critically injured and taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where she died of her wounds on October 17, 2025, becoming one of seven fatalities from the incident.

Investigators from the local police, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, and the FBI treated the case as stemming from a disagreement among several people rather than a random attack. In the days after the shooting, nine people were arrested. Four individuals — Teviyon L. Powell, 29; William Bryant, 29; Morgan Lattimore, 25; and Terrogernal S. Martin, 33 — were charged with capital murder in connection with the seven deaths. A fifth person, 44-year-old Latoya A. Powell, was charged with attempted murder.
