On February 10, 2018, 28-year-old Latasha Collins of Fayette, Mississippi, was shot at a Zippy’s convenience store on Main Street during the early morning hours. A 911 call around 4:30 a.m. prompted deputies and emergency responders to the scene; Collins was found wounded, taken to Jefferson County Hospital, and pronounced dead on arrival.

An eyewitness at the store identified 26-year-old Ikeheem Colenberg as the shooter. Deputies located and arrested Colenberg by about 8:30 a.m. the same morning; he was charged with murder and held without bond. Investigators also reviewed surveillance footage from the store that was expected to corroborate the eyewitness account. The motive had not been established at the time of the arrest.

A grand jury later indicted Colenberg on first-degree murder and related charges, including attempted murder of Rasheen Carter, shooting into an automobile, and a drive-by shooting. Colenberg ultimately pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and a drive-by shooting and was sentenced to concurrent prison terms. Does anyone have additional information about Latasha’s life in Fayette or memories of that morning’s events?
