Katrina Pitts, 41, traveled from Chicago to Greenwood, Mississippi, for her grandmother’s funeral in autumn 2020. On the night of October 24, 2020, during a gathering after the funeral, a gunman opened fire on the crowd with a weapon witnesses described as a semiautomatic rifle similar to an AR-15. Ten people were shot; Katrina and her 42-year-old brother, Jonathan Pitts, both visiting from out of town, were killed at the scene and eight others were wounded.

The shooter fled before officers arrived, and the motive was not immediately clear. Greenwood law enforcement later arrested Tyrell Stigler and charged him with two counts of murder for the deaths of Katrina and Jonathan Pitts and eight counts of aggravated assault for the other victims. The case has been part of a broader investigation tying the suspect to additional violent incidents in the area.

If anyone attended the October 24 gathering or has information about the shooting or those present that night, please share what is known.
