Robert Kentrell Anderson Jr., a 14-year-old Black boy, was killed in Greenwood, Mississippi, on the evening of July 11, 2023. He was standing in his own yard when gunfire struck him; his mother says he was not the intended target. A bullet also entered the family home and grazed his 12-year-old sister.

The shooting occurred amid a string of violent incidents in Greenwood that summer. Community members, local clergy, and city officials organized a Stop the Killing Rally to mourn Robert’s death and press for safer neighborhoods.

If anyone saw or heard anything the night of July 11, or has information about who fired into that neighborhood, please come forward to help bring justice for Robert.
