On the evening of December 20, 2019, 13-year-old Zachary Bernard Bishop Jr. was inside an apartment complex in Waynesboro, Mississippi, when a stray bullet from a drive-by shooting struck him and killed him while he was playing a video game. Two other people were injured in the same incident.

Within weeks investigators identified 27-year-old Antonio J. Mitchell in connection with the case. In January 2020 Mitchell surrendered to authorities and was charged with first-degree murder for Zachary’s death. He was also charged with five counts of aggravated assault and two counts of shooting into an occupied dwelling and held at the Wayne County Adult Detention Center pending further proceedings.

What does anyone in Waynesboro remember about that night or the people who lived at that apartment complex?
