On the evening of May 29, 2019, a targeted attack in Meridian, Mississippi, left two men dead. At about 7:30 p.m. at the intersection of 22nd Street and 44th Avenue, 32-year-old Edward C. Carpenter and 27-year-old Talimon Edwards of Marion were found with fatal gunshot wounds. One victim was inside a car and the other just outside; investigators say both had been seated in the front when someone in the back seat shot them from behind. Authorities described the killings as tied to an ongoing dispute rather than a random act.

The investigation led to identification of two suspects. In the weeks afterward, law enforcement located and arrested Cedric Rogers and 20-year-old Jayvion Smith of Meridian; Rogers was taken into custody in Kemper County on June 28 and Smith was arrested by U.S. Marshals in July. Does anyone have information about the dispute or the events that night that could help clarify what happened?
