On March 23, 2024, three people were killed at a home on Janet Davis Circle in Indianola, Mississippi. Victims were 73-year-old Sarah Holmes Scott, her 76-year-old husband Steve Scott, and 65-year-old family friend Vanessa Cassandra Hollins. Sarah and Vanessa were found outside the residence with fatal gunshot wounds; Steve Scott was found dead inside the home.

A 36-year-old grandson, Alton Williams, was located in a vehicle near the scene and taken into custody without incident. He was charged with three counts of murder and booked into the Sunflower County jail. The family described Sarah as active in the Delta Missions Senior Citizens group and said they were grieving while noting mental health may have been a factor; no official motive has been released.
