On February 17, 2023, a series of shootings across four locations in Tate County, Mississippi, ended with six people dead, including 78-year-old Lynda McCain of Southaven. The attacks occurred in and around the rural town of Arkabutla and also claimed the lives of Debra Sue Crum, Charles Manuel, John Rocky Rorie, Chris Eugene Boyce, and George Auston McCain.

Lynda is described as a woman rooted in faith and family, the mother of two daughters and the grandmother of three, remembered for a radiant personality and an infectious laugh. Authorities arrested a suspect identified as the ex-husband of one of the victims; acquaintances reported he had a history of mental illness. He is in custody awaiting trial for the killings.

If anyone knew Lynda or has information about the events of February 17, please come forward to help piece together what happened.
