Terry Lewis, 20, was fatally shot on November 28, 2023, in Natchez, Mississippi. He had just arrived at a friend’s home on Ridgewood Road and was exiting a vehicle when the shooting occurred. Authorities described the incident as a case of mistaken identity.

Investigators focused on Adrienne Brown, who was also a guest at the same gathering. Brown was taken into custody by the Natchez Police Department and charged with manslaughter in connection with Lewis’s death. The charge indicates authorities viewed the killing as not premeditated but attributable to Brown’s actions.

The community was left seeking answers after Lewis’s life ended so suddenly. If anyone was at the Ridgewood Road gathering or has information about what happened that night, please come forward.
