A domestic dispute over family property in rural Holmes County, Mississippi, ended in a deadly shooting on April 25, 2023. Around late afternoon, 33-year-old Karissa Job and her 24-year-old cousin, Tiateiyuna Day, drove to a home on Emory Road north of West to confront a woman they said was living on their grandmother’s property. The confrontation was broadcast on Facebook Live and showed Job and Day verbally taunting the resident.

According to reports, the homeowner emerged with a firearm and, after warnings, fired, fatally wounding both visitors. Day was declared dead at the scene; Job died while being transported to a local hospital. The Holmes County Sheriff’s Office has treated the Facebook Live video as a key piece of evidence. Sheriff Willie March described the deaths as tragic and potentially avoidable and said the shooting could be considered self-defense because Job and Day were the aggressors who came to the shooter’s home.

The homeowner has been questioned and no criminal charges have been filed as investigators continue reviewing the footage and circumstances to decide whether to present the matter to a grand jury. If anyone has information about the confrontation or was near Emory Road that afternoon, please share what was seen or recorded.
