On the night of May 6, 2022, 18-year-old Venson Mix of Jackson, Mississippi, was shot on Woody Drive. Police said a bullet struck him in the back. He was not found at the roadside by first responders; someone placed him in a car and drove him to Merit Health Hospital, where he was pronounced dead shortly after arrival.

Venson, known to some as Mook, had attended Wingfield High School. His death came during a violent Mother’s Day weekend in Jackson when six people were killed in roughly forty-eight hours; reporting on the period noted Venson’s shooting but did not identify a suspect, name anyone present with him, or describe a clear motive or confrontation on Woody Drive.
