Jerome G. Young, a 39-year-old Black man whose address has also been listed in Biloxi, was fatally shot on the evening of May 2, 2024, while sitting in his white BMW outside a Chevron at 1290 Mississippi Highway 24 East in Centreville, Mississippi. The attack, about 8 p.m., came when a four-door Audi pulled up behind his parked car and occupants opened fire, riddling the BMW; glass at a nearby B-Kwik was shattered but no one else was injured. First responders pronounced Young dead at the scene.

Investigators linked the killing to further gunfire reported on May 6 near Cosby and Highland Streets involving a white BMW and a red Cadillac Escalade. The Escalade later crashed on Mississippi Highway 24 into a passenger car; several males — some reportedly wearing ski masks and carrying large firearms — fled the wreck. No arrests have been announced, and Young’s widow has criticized the pace of the investigation and communication from police.

Does anyone in Centreville have information about the vehicles or the people seen around Highway 24 on May 2 or near Cosby and Highland Streets on May 6?
