On the late afternoon of February 13, 2022, 21-year-old Diantevious Martez Thompson was found on Northview Drive in Kosciusko, Mississippi, with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Thompson, known to family and friends as Tez, was Black/African American and enjoyed dancing, fishing, hunting, and riding horses and four-wheelers.
