On the evening of June 18, 2019, 23-year-old Kendrell Miller was shot while playing basketball at Midway Park on South Midway Avenue in Ridgeland, Mississippi. A white truck drove by the court and one of its occupants fired multiple shots into the group; Miller was struck in the head and killed. Reports say he was not the intended target and had been there to play with friends.

Investigators tied the shooting to a dispute over who could sell marijuana in the area. Authorities say 16-year-old Lenzarius Roberts gathered five others—Christopher Coleman, Darius Farmer, Kaland McCollum, Christopher Tyler, and D’Antonio Guyton—and they drove to the park. After an initial pass, the vehicle turned around and came back; on that second pass Christopher Coleman, then 20, fired the shots. All six were arrested.

In October 2020 the six pleaded guilty to various charges related to the drive-by shooting; Coleman and Roberts pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received thirty-year sentences to be served without parole. If anyone knew Kendrell or was at Midway Park that night, please share what was seen or heard.
