Twelve-year-old Jayla Sandifer was killed by a single gunshot at her grandparents’ home on Spring Street in Lumberton, Mississippi, on July 30, 2015. Police were called for shots fired and arrived about 8:58 p.m.; Jayla was pronounced dead at the scene by the Lamar County deputy coroner.

Investigators questioned everyone who had been inside the house at the time, including Jayla’s 16-year-old brother, but no arrests or publicly named suspects have been announced. Officials said it was unclear whether the shooting was accidental or intentional, and no further updates on suspects, charges, or a trial have been released.

Jayla was remembered by the community for her infectious smile and her excitement about starting 7th grade. Does anyone who lived in Lumberton at the time have information that could help explain what happened that night?
