On the evening of February 15, 2024, two young men were shot and killed in Drew, Mississippi. Kendrick Austin, 23, and his friend Ibn Burnett, 22, were found with multiple gunshot wounds after police responded to a call about a possible shooting on Broadway Street near Park Avenue around 5:50 p.m. One victim was inside a vehicle and the other was lying in the street; both were pronounced dead at the scene.

Two people were arrested in connection with the double homicide. Tacquiera Turner, 21, surrendered to police after her family contacted the department, and 20-year-old Miracle Miller of Drew was later arrested; Miller is alleged to have been the driver during the shooting. Both women were charged with murder and held at the Sunflower County jail without bond. Investigators are examining a possible crime of passion as the motive.

Austin graduated from Thomas Edwards Senior High School in Ruleville in 2020 and was remembered by a former teacher as respectful, humble, and often smiling. Does anyone have information about Kendrick, Ibn, or the events on Broadway Street that evening?
