Quincy Peoples, 19, was shot near the intersection of Locust and Jefferson streets in Vicksburg, Mississippi, on March 11, 2025. Police found him suffering from gunshot wounds late that Tuesday night; he was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. Investigators say the shooting arose from an armed robbery tied to a significant quantity of narcotics.

Shortly after Peoples was discovered, two other people arrived at the same hospital with gunshot wounds, and police have linked them to the same incident. The Vicksburg Police Department opened an intensive investigation into the complex circumstances surrounding the crime.

Authorities arrested two men, Tyler Terry of Canton and Javien Shannon of Jackson, on charges including capital murder, two counts of aggravated assault with a weapon, and armed robbery; Shannon was also charged with possession of a stolen firearm. A third person, Tayvion Pope, was arrested on a felony marijuana possession charge related to the robbery. Investigators say they continue to seek additional individuals who may have been involved.

If anyone has information about Quincy Peoples, the robbery, or those involved, please come forward.
