LELAND, Miss. (AP) — A seventh person has died from injuries sustained in a mass shooting following a high school football homecoming game earlier this month in the Mississippi Delta town of Leland, according to local officials.
Washington County coroner LaQuesha Watkins announced Saturday that her office was informed by the Hinds County coroner’s office on Friday about the death of 25-year-old Ebanee Williams.
In connection with the shooting, which occurred around midnight on October 11, nine people have been arrested. Several of those arrested face capital murder charges. The incident also left more than a dozen individuals injured.
The FBI’s Jackson Field Office has been actively posting pictures of suspects wanted for questioning in relation to the mass shooting.
The shooting took place as people were celebrating homecoming weekend in downtown Leland, shortly after the football game.
Authorities have not disclosed a possible motive for the shooting. However, the FBI indicated that the gunfire appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals.”
