On the evening of March 5, 2016, 22-year-old Elifelet Nunez Sanchez was shot and killed on South Westhaven Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. Sanchez and a companion, 22-year-old Daniel Gomez, were outside about 6:30 p.m., reportedly cooking in their front yard, when two armed men approached, demanded money and belongings, and opened fire. Both victims were struck in the upper torso; Sanchez died at the scene and Gomez later died at a local hospital.

A neighbor described seeing a car drive by with two Black males who fired multiple times. Jackson Police identified one suspect as Anthony Harris and obtained warrants charging him with two counts of capital murder. As of March 11, 2016, Harris remained at large and investigators were still seeking the second suspect.

Anyone with information about that night, the suspects, or either victim’s movements is asked to come forward.
