Sammie Corder, 67, was shot and killed on the evening of Sunday, October 30, 2022, in Columbus, Mississippi. He was sitting in his car in the driveway on the 700 block of 21st Street North, listening to the radio, when multiple gunshots rang out. Corder was struck in the chest and died at the scene after being caught by a bullet fired during a separate dispute.

Authorities identified a suspect and arrested 16-year-old Tameron Ward. Investigators say Ward had been involved in an earlier altercation and fired at someone else; one of the rounds fatally struck Corder. Ward was charged as an adult and later pleaded guilty to manslaughter, receiving a 15-year prison sentence.

Does anyone in Columbus remember that October night or have information that could shed more light on what led to the shooting?
