Dshun Coleman, a 19-year-old Black male from Lexington, Mississippi, was shot and killed on the night of December 20, 2023. Coleman was riding north on Highway 17 in a black Dodge Charger around 8 p.m., seated in the passenger seat while a 14-year-old friend drove. As the car rolled toward a traffic light at the intersection known locally as Balance Due, occupants of a group of men opened fire on the vehicle. Multiple calibers were recovered at the scene. Bullets struck Coleman several times on the passenger side; one round grazed the teenage driver. Both occupants were taken to medical care; Coleman was pronounced dead at UMMC Holmes County and an autopsy was ordered. The Holmes County Sheriff’s Department described the attack as a fatal drive-by-style shooting and identified three persons of interest who had not been taken into custody at that time.

Does anyone have information about that night on Highway 17 or remember seeing the Charger near the Balance Due intersection?
