A late-night shooting at a Brookhaven Waffle House turned fatal on November 1, 2021. Around 2 a.m. gunfire erupted inside the restaurant on Brookway Boulevard; 23-year-old Myrtessia Catchings was shot and later died at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. A second person suffered a gunshot wound to an arm.

Brookhaven police arrested 31-year-old Willie Ray Walker III in connection with the double shooting; he was initially charged with attempted murder. Investigators also identified 30-year-old Lindsay Marie Schmidt and later arrested her on a charge of accessory after the fact.

Few public details are available about motives or exactly what happened inside the Waffle House during the shooting. Does anyone have information about the scene that night or knew Myrtessia that could help clarify what happened?
