On June 15, 2022, 23-year-old Stayvia Leone Hood was killed inside her D’Iberville, Mississippi, apartment when a bullet that passed through the door of the adjacent unit struck her while she was eating dinner on her couch. Hood was pregnant at the time. First responders pronounced her dead at the scene after officers forced entry and found her with a gunshot wound.

The occupant of the neighboring apartment, 35-year-old Eric Joseph Adams, called 911 and told police his rifle had unexpectedly discharged while he was putting it away; the bullet traveled through his apartment door into Hood’s residence at the Landmark of D’Iberville on Lamey Bridge Road. Adams was arrested and charged with manslaughter and held in the Harrison County jail with bond set at $500,000.

Hood’s relatives spoke about the impact of her death on their family. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Stayvia?
