Jessica Pannell, 21, was one of three young adults killed in a mass shooting at a party on Maynard Street in Tupelo, Mississippi, on the night of July 24, 2021. The other victims were 21-year-old Norahs Coleman and 22-year-old Robben Wilson. The celebration turned deadly when gunfire erupted, and witnesses were reportedly reluctant to come forward in the immediate aftermath.

Investigators identified four suspects and arrested three of them within days: Javion Clifton and Shamar Carroll were taken into custody quickly, and Taquon Arnez Garth was arrested by U.S. Marshals shortly after. The fourth suspect, Jaylen Antwan Wells, then 17, was captured in Albany, New York, in December 2021 and extradited to Mississippi. All four were initially charged with three counts of capital murder; Wells was denied bond.

In September 2023 two defendants, Shamar Carroll and Javion Clifton, pleaded guilty to lesser charges and received prison terms as part of plea agreements; both agreed to testify against Jaylen Antwan Wells and Taquon Arnez Garth, who remain facing capital murder charges and are awaiting trial. Did anyone at the party or in the neighborhood see something that could help the remaining prosecutions?
