Derrick Williams, 33, was fatally shot in the early hours of July 5, 2024, in Clarksdale, Mississippi, after an argument at a local club escalated into gunfire on Madison Street. Williams was one of four people wounded; the other three were driven to Northwest Mississippi Regional Medical Center in a speeding vehicle, while Williams was removed from that car and left on the street. A citizen later found him unresponsive and took him to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound.
