On the evening of July 10, 2020, Jeffery Antonio Fairley, a 31-year-old Black man, was shot multiple times during an altercation inside a barbershop in Lucedale, Mississippi. Two or three men entered the shop and a fight broke out; Fairley sustained between five and eight gunshot wounds and was taken to George County Regional Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Fairley was a married father of seven children and active in Sweet Pilgrim Missionary Baptist Church. He was also connected to local law enforcement as the nephew of Lucedale Police Chief Kellum Fairley and the son of a former New Augusta Police Department officer.

Anyone who was at the barbershop that night or who has information about the incident is asked to come forward.
