Shakira Gatlin, 19, was killed by a gunshot to the head in Jackson, Mississippi, on the evening of February 2, 2022. She was shot at a home on Barnes Street. Reports say the shooting was a tragic accident involving the mishandling of a firearm; an underage male who was present was questioned and told police the discharge was not intentional. The investigation into how the gun was fired and the events leading up to the shooting continued.

Gatlin was a prominent dancer and co-captain of the Dancing Dolls, who appeared on the reality series Bring It!. Her death compounded family grief: her father, Derrick Robinson, had been shot and killed in Jackson in September 2021. If anyone knew Shakira, saw her that evening, or has information about what happened at the Barnes Street home, please come forward.
