William Des’Mond Young, 23, was killed in Brookhaven, Mississippi on the evening of Saturday, June 22, 2024. The shooting occurred about 8:05 p.m. at an apartment complex at 209 Pennington Street near Furr Avenue. Young sustained multiple gunshot wounds after an altercation.

Within days the Brookhaven Police Department identified a 15-year-old juvenile, named as Christian Collins, as the suspect. Authorities initially tried to have the teenager turn himself in through family cooperation and warned they would involve the U.S. Marshals if that did not happen. The search crossed state lines.

On Friday, July 26, 2024, agents with the U.S. Marshal’s Service arrested Christian Collins in San Marcos, Texas at his mother’s apartment. Collins was charged with murder and aggravated assault; his mother, LaRhonda Collins, was to be charged with obstruction of justice. Does anyone who knew William or was near 209 Pennington Street that night have information to share?
