Jaylon Campbell was 15 when he was shot and killed inside a house on Coldwater River Road in Jonestown, Mississippi, on the night of May 29, 2016. A three-sport athlete from nearby Cleveland who had just finished 8th grade, Jaylon often visited his grandparents in Jonestown and was at a house local teens used as a hangout when he was found with a gunshot wound to the chest.

Coahoma County deputies arrested a 14-year-old acquaintance, Zakeyrris Mitchell of Jonestown, and charged him with culpable negligence; he was held on $2,500 bond. Neighbors had reported frequent gunfire at that house, and family members said the gatherings were unsupervised. Community accounts mentioned rumors about a motive, including an argument over a pair of shoes, while a friend said the shooting did not seem intentional.

Jaylon’s family described him as a beloved young person taken too soon. Does anyone who knew Jaylon or who was in Jonestown that night have information that could clarify what happened?
