Reginald Gaines was 30 and lived in Vicksburg, Mississippi, when he was shot while a passenger in a vehicle traveling south on U.S. 61 on a Tuesday evening in March 2017. The gunshot to his head followed a dispute earlier at a nearby convenience store. He was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson and died the next day, Wednesday, March 8, 2017.

The Vicksburg Police Department treated the death as a homicide. Two men, Kentrell Williams and Mario Cortez Bailey, were arrested and charged with first-degree murder in connection with the shooting and were held in the Warren County Jail pending further proceedings.

If anyone has information about the dispute at the convenience store or the events on U.S. 61 that evening, please share what is known.
