Ciera Hammond, a 27-year-old Black mother of three, was shot and killed outside her home on Popular Street in Grenada, Mississippi, on the evening of Sunday, June 25, 2023. Grenada police, who were nearby on another call, heard gunfire and found Hammond with fatal gunshot wounds; she was taken to a local medical center and later pronounced dead.

The Grenada Police Department opened a homicide investigation and asked the public for help. Investigators recovered multiple firearms from juveniles in the area while responding to the shooting, but police reported frustration at a lack of eyewitness cooperation. As of late 2023 no arrests or suspects have been publicly named and the case remains open.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information that could help identify who was responsible, please contact the Grenada Police Department.
