Curtis Franklin Owens, a 57-year-old resident of Sandy Hook, Mississippi, is recorded in two conflicting ways for late September 2015. An obituary states he died peacefully on September 24, 2015, surrounded by family and laid to rest at Ponemah Cemetery. That notice describes his Pentecostal faith and lists surviving relatives including his father and step-mother, two daughters, and sisters.

By contrast, the National Gun Violence Memorial lists him as a gun violence victim on September 23, 2015, and cites local headlines about a body found in Marion County and a Marion County shooting victim identified.

Which detail about Curtis Owens’ death matches what anyone in Marion County remembers, or can anyone share a copy of the local reports that are referenced?
