On January 9, 2026, 33-year-old Quentin Moore, a Black content creator and member of the Cedarbluff community, was shot dead in a multi-location killing spree that left six people dead in Clay County, Mississippi. Authorities say all victims were shot in the head and pronounced dead at the scene. The shootings occurred across four locations and investigators describe them as targeted rather than random.

Law enforcement arrested a family member, 24-year-old Daricka Moore, about five hours after the first shootings at a police roadblock. He was found with a rifle and a handgun and has been charged with three counts of capital murder, three counts of first-degree murder, and additional felonies including attempted murder and burglary. Daricka Moore was booked into the Clay County jail without bail and pleaded not guilty at his initial court appearance on January 12, 2026. The Clay County District Attorney has said they intend to seek the death penalty. The motive remains under investigation.
