In the predawn hours of Tuesday, December 29, 2020, a home on Chestnut Alley in Canton, Mississippi, was the scene of a violent double homicide. Nineteen-year-old Maudilia Martina Ramirez Garcia, who was eight months pregnant, was found inside the residence shot in the face and pronounced dead at the scene. Her brother, 20-year-old Faustino Ramirez Garcia, was found outside the home with a gunshot wound to the back of his head and also died.

A toddler daughter of Maudilia was found inside the home with a gunshot wound to the face but survived and was taken to a local hospital. A male witness who was present during the home invasion escaped unharmed by hiding in a closet. Police described the incident as possibly occurring during a botched robbery and appealed to the community for information. As of early 2021, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced.

Does anyone in the Canton area have information that could help identify who carried out this attack?
