Austin Joel Edwards was an 11-year-old sixth grader at Lipsey Middle School who was killed on Sunday, May 28, 2017, during a shooting spree that hit Bogue Chitto and Brookhaven, Mississippi. His funeral was held June 3, 2017, at Alexander Junior High School Auditorium in Brookhaven, and he was buried at New Zion-Norfield Cemetery in Bogue Chitto.

The rampage left eight people dead across multiple locations, including a Lincoln County deputy sheriff. The other victims were named as Deputy William Durr, Barbara Mitchell, Toccarra May, Brenda May, Jordan Blackwell, Farrell Dishon Burage, and Sheila Burage. A suspect was taken into custody and charged in connection with the fatalities.
