On Saturday, January 27, 2024, at about 2:30 a.m., 36-year-old Charles Santez Coffey was found dead outside a residence in the 800 block of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard in Grenada, Mississippi. The Grenada County Coroner pronounced him dead at the scene from a gunshot wound.

Coffey’s killing was the first of several related shootings that weekend. In the hours after his death, three other people — an adult female, a 24-year-old man, and a nine-year-old girl — were wounded in separate but connected incidents investigators believe involved fully automatic weapons. Those shootings left the community shaken and prompted an extended investigation.

Who in Grenada that night saw or heard anything that could help piece together what happened to Charles Coffey?
