Anthony Beene was 19 when he was shot and killed in Corinth, Mississippi, on the evening of July 23, 2014. The shooting occurred after an altercation at John Street Park. According to witnesses, 17-year-old Amartrie Moss produced a gun and shot Beene multiple times. Mortally wounded, Beene ran up Droke Road to a nearby house and collapsed on the front porch; he was found after a 911 call and had died by the time police arrived.

Moss was located after his mother contacted the police chief the following day and arranged to turn him in; he was taken into custody and charged as an adult with murder. In March 2016 Moss, then 18, pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of second-degree murder and was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Before sentencing, Beene’s mother, Tashia Beene Johnson, told Moss she forgave him and the two embraced in court.

Are there details from that night or from witnesses at John Street Park that anyone in the Corinth area can share?
