On the evening of October 24, 2022, 19-year-old Mary Ann Collins of Ellisville was fatally shot in the parking lot of Loper’s Laundry in Laurel, Mississippi. She was riding in a vehicle when gunfire struck; 22-year-old Travion Barnett, who was with her, was also killed and a third occupant suffered a gunshot wound to the leg but survived.

Authorities identified 19-year-old Ronald Hot Boy Buckley as the primary suspect and apprehended him on November 22, 2022, in Fremont, Ohio. He was extradited to Mississippi and charged with two counts of first-degree murder, four counts of aggravated assault, conspiracy to commit murder, possession of a stolen firearm, and directing or causing a youth to commit a felony. Bond was denied and a court-appointed attorney was assigned.

The motive for the attack has not been released. If anyone knew Mary Ann, Travion, or saw activity in the Loper’s Laundry parking lot that night, please share what is known.
