FBI seeks help to identify suspects in mass shooting that left 6 dead in the Mississippi Delta

FBI agents are seeking the public’s help identifying four people seen near a mass shooting in a Mississippi Delta town that left six killed and more than a dozen injured over the weekend.

The FBI’s Jackson Field Office late Sunday released photos of the four — one female and three males — shown in surveillance video and identified in an FBI poster as “unknown suspects.” Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive for Friday night’s shooting in Leland, but the FBI said the gunfire appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals.”

The shooting, which came as people celebrated homecoming weekend in downtown Leland shortly after a high school football game, was the deadliest of several shootings across Mississippi over the weekend. Other shootings were reported at two Mississippi universities on Saturday, as those schools celebrated their homecoming weekends.

Leland shooting is the 14th mass killing in the U.S. this year

In Leland, four of the victims died at the scene, where abandoned shoes were left and blood stained the pavement of a downtown street the following day.

Not sure what their political affiliations are.

According to the FBI, Morgan Lattimore, 25, Teviyon Powell, 29, and William Bryant, 29, were charged with capital murder. A fourth suspect, Latoya Powell, 44, has been charged with attempted murder.

12. This was another black-on-black mass shooting. It wasn't political.

Sure, they could be MAGA, but the odds of that are low.

I'd wager the shooters are not voters.

3. Why are these 6 plus 4 others shot and killed in South Carolina this weekend less of a problem than immigrants?

This country’s priorities are so fucked up.

Ya got armies of ICE making $70,000 a year with bonuses. Get the hell out into dangerous cities where mass shootings are happening and stop hanging around peaceful cities getting photo ops at Bass Pro.

10. Where did I say that

ICE is not only going after undocumented people, we are all on the hit list. They have no boundaries as to who they are going after. I am just saying, if they are out to protect us all from crime, instead of going into safe areas to put fear in us all, how about spend a second going after these Dailey mass shooters, and earn that absurd pay. If they need help, pay the people you NEED help from. Stop standing in peaceful streets with war toys trying to look tough.
Instead of Sitting at Home Depot, go find the daily mass shooters. Stop slamming old women and veterans to the streets and zip tying kids.
South Carolina, Mississippi had two this weekend and that is no where near all that happened this weekend. Did Lindsay call in the MAGA Army for help?
I no where made an impression immigrates are responsible.

11. The FBI announced yesterday they arrested 4 suspects less than 72 hours after the shooting

Seems like they did a pretty good job. Not sure what having ICE there would have accomplished.

You are free to disagree, but I don't believe ICE needs to have their scope expanded.

13. The original post was before

Any suspects were found. The FBI was asking for help, in the Original post title. And After Googly eyes fired many of the most qualified long serving agents. My post was “sarcasm” at them asking for help after firings, when they have a massive overpaid Barbie Army out rounding up much more than immigrants and using the “We are protecting the nation from crime”, as justifying the attack on the nation. Right here on OUR streets.
I am in no way wanting these J6 thugs expanding their war on the country. And paid really damn well to do it, With taxes from us that pay them. .
My post was Sarcasm!!!!!!! Toward FBI asking for help.
And as Gymmie (Pro Sexual Assault warrior) Jordon insists, ICE are doing the LORDS work, with their brutality. “Lord” Donny 5 time deferment.

Oct. 13 (UPI) -- Four people were arrested Monday in connection to a mass shooting over the weekend in Mississippi that killed six people and left 10 others wounded.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation announced the arrests following Friday night's deadly gunfire at a football homecoming celebration in the downtown area of Leland, a small town about 200 miles from the Arkansas-Mississippi border.

According to the FBI, Morgan Lattimore, 25, Teviyon Powell, 29, and William Bryant, 29, were charged with capital murder. A fourth suspect, Latoya Powell, 44, has been charged with attempted murder.

The FBI in Jackson said the investigation will continue with other arrests pending. A motive was not revealed.
