A late-night shooting on December 1, 2024, left Myron Octavis Rowe dead at his home on Wilson Hill Loop in the small community of Prairie, Mississippi. Monroe County deputies answered a 911 call reporting multiple gunshots just after 10 p.m.; Rowe, 36, was found with a fatal gunshot wound and an autopsy was scheduled at the state medical examiner’s office to confirm details.

Rowe, born May 30, 1988, in Amory, was a skilled carpenter and is survived by his parents, two sons, a brother, and three sisters. Investigators say four teenagers from West Point entered Rowe’s trailer home; authorities accuse 18-year-old Cameron Walker of firing the fatal shot while another person inside the house returned fire, wounding Walker. Arrested were Walker, 19-year-old Demarcus Randle, a 17-year-old and a 15-year-old; all four have been charged with murder. Walker’s bond was set at $250,000 and he was arrested after release from a West Point hospital.

A motive has not been determined. If anyone has information about Rowe, his movements that night, or the people involved, please come forward.
