A late-summer shooting in Jackson, Mississippi, left 29-year-old Kedryn Wright dead on September 6, 2023. Wright and three other people were together that evening when an unidentified man approached and opened fire. All four were wounded; Wright suffered fatal injuries and was pronounced dead after being taken to a local hospital. The motive was not disclosed, and the other victims survived with nonfatal wounds.

Local investigators pursued the case for months while the family and community sought answers. On January 31, 2024, U.S. Marshals located and arrested a suspect identified as Alvino Francis, and he was charged with murder in connection with Wright’s death. The circumstances that led to the shooting remain unclear.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about what led up to that night, please share what is known with investigators.
