Eighteen-year-old Jordan Henderson was fatally shot during a large outdoor block party on Shiloh Road in Panola County in the early morning hours of Sunday, July 23, 2023. The party had been advertised on social media and drew a large crowd; Panola County Sheriff’s deputies were at the event and were shutting it down when someone in the crowd opened fire. Deputies attempted CPR but Henderson could not be saved. Another person was seriously injured.

Authorities arrested at least one person and initially charged that individual with aggravated assault, with the charge possibly to be upgraded to murder pending the autopsy. Officials said they were seeking others believed to be involved and expected more arrests. Family and friends described Henderson as a quiet, respectable young man who had just graduated from South Panola High School, played drums at his church, and was planning to attend college; a GoFundMe was created to help his mother and family.

Did anyone at the party or in the area that night see who fired or saw the people who fled after the shots?
