Eddie Lee Gandy, 67, was found shot to death inside his home on 15th Avenue North in Columbus, Mississippi, on the morning of June 23, 2021. Investigators reported signs of forced entry and evidence that someone had been searching the house for valuables, and believed a robbery was the motive for the killing.

The Columbus Police Department identified two local teenagers in connection with the case. Sixteen-year-old Korey Harris was arrested and charged with capital murder, on the basis that Gandy was killed during the commission of a felony. After a public appeal, another 16-year-old, Keylon Stubbs, turned himself in and was also charged with capital murder; both were to be prosecuted as adults. A grand jury indicted Harris and Stubbs on the capital murder charge in May 2022.

Anyone with information about Eddie Gandy, the break-in, or the events leading up to June 23, 2021, is asked to come forward.
