Twenty-four-year-old Billy Ra'Nardrick Talley and 47-year-old Hosey Campbell Jr. were both shot; Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene and Talley was taken to Laird’s Hospital in Union, where he later died. A third person was wounded and survived after treatment and release from the hospital.

The shooting followed an earlier verbal disagreement that day between several people. The Union Police Department, assisted by the Newton County Sheriff’s Office and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, interviewed more than 20 individuals while investigating the double homicide.
