On the morning of October 29, 2023, 21-year-old Jade Kennedy Rhodes of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, was fatally shot at Club 195, a nightclub near the Forrest–Stone County line in Wiggins. Several other people were wounded in the same burst of gunfire that killed Jade.

A 2020 graduate of Oak Grove High School, Jade was a student at Pearl River Community College on a Performing Arts Scholarship studying Marketing. She had started a clothing line called Love Angel and was remembered for her creativity and positivity. In the days after the shooting, investigators from the Forrest County Sheriff’s Office, assisted by the Hattiesburg Police Department and the Lamar County Sheriff’s Department, arrested multiple people in connection with the club violence.

Arrests included 25-year-old Zadarruous Sutton and 23-year-old Montrell Quinn, each charged with aggravated assault, and 21-year-old Antontonia Murry, charged with hindering prosecution; bond amounts were reported for each. Reports also said a fifth suspect was detained but gave no identity or charges. Who has been charged specifically in Jade’s killing remains an open question; anyone with information is asked to come forward.
