On the evening of April 19, 2024, gunfire erupted at Henley Park near College Street and North Boundary in Holly Springs, Mississippi. Jaquavion Markell-Bell, a 21-year-old Black man from Holly Springs, was shot and later died after being brought to a local hospital in a private vehicle. The coroner reported at least two gunshot wounds to his abdomen, and investigators recovered more than 30 shell casings at the scene; witnesses said a man fired a rifle toward a crowd. First responders were alerted by a 911 call about shots fired at about 9:05 p.m., and spent shell casings and blood were found in the street though the victim was not at the scene when officers arrived.

In the days after the shooting, the Holly Springs Police Department named persons of interest and obtained a first-degree murder arrest warrant on April 24 for 20-year-old Markavis Sanders of Fayette County, Tennessee. A multi-agency search brought Sanders into custody in Memphis on May 10; he was held pending extradition to Mississippi to face the murder charge.
