Stacey D. Cooksey was 16 when she was killed by gunfire on July 8, 1993, in the wave of violence that struck Jackson, Mississippi, that summer. Born December 15, 1976, she was buried at Andrew Chapel Cemetery in Rankin County, leaving a grieving family and community.

Authorities later identified 32-year-old Alan Curtis Dorris as the person responsible. His attacks that period included multiple other killings: two men and a teenager shot at a bar near Jackson and an elderly woman and her son murdered in their Greenville home. Dorris was apprehended and, on August 27, 1993, began serving three life sentences for the homicides.

Did anyone who knew Stacey or who was in the Jackson area that July notice anything that might help explain how these events unfolded?
