Shortly after midnight on Sunday, July 21, 2024, a mass shooting near a nightclub on Church Street in Indianola, Mississippi, killed 19-year-old Areon Butler, a 2024 graduate of Gentry High School. Butler was pronounced dead at the scene; two other 19-year-old males, Cameron Lee Butts and Marquette Baites of Greenville, also died. Up to 16 others were reported injured, some from gunfire and some from ricocheting bullets, and several required air transport to a Jackson hospital.

The Indianola Police Department, aided by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, opened a full-scale probe but reported no arrests and offered no publicly identified motive in the initial account. Investigators faced the challenge of many potential witnesses yet had not identified suspects.

Does anyone who was in that area the night of July 21 have information that could help investigators?
