A graduation party at the Columbus Fairgrounds in Columbus, Mississippi, on the early morning of May 23, 2014, ended in gunfire that killed 21-year-old Devin Lamar Montgomery. A Columbus High School graduate and student at East Mississippi Community College, Montgomery was pronounced dead at Baptist Memorial Hospital-Golden Triangle after sustaining multiple gunshot wounds, according to medical testimony.

Investigators identified 19-year-old Kale Scott as the primary suspect; he turned himself in a few days after the shooting and was charged with first-degree murder and aggravated assault for wounding another person in the leg during the same incident. Scott’s trial began in August 2015; the jury found him guilty of first-degree murder and aggravated assault after about two hours of deliberation. The judge sentenced Scott to life in prison for Montgomery’s murder and added a 20-year term for the aggravated assault, with 10 years to run consecutively to the life sentence.

Are there details about the party or the disputed spill that anyone who was there can share?
