Devin Jamal Winchester was 19 when he was killed in a mass shooting in Natchez on the night of May 5, 2023. The attack happened in the parking lot of a strip mall on D’Evereux Drive, behind a Popeye’s and in front of a Cash Savers; investigators recovered dozens of shell casings and say shooters fired numerous rounds from a vehicle using an assault-type weapon. Travione Jones, 19, was also killed and three others were wounded.

Police have said Winchester was likely not the intended target and was with the wrong company at the wrong time. Authorities describe the motive as tied to an ongoing dispute with Jones as the apparent primary target. By late August 2023 several people had been arrested on murder, attempted murder and conspiracy charges in connection with the attack, and a warrant was issued for another suspect who was believed to have fled the state.

If anyone witnessed the shooting that night or knew Devin’s movements in Natchez that evening, please share what you know.
