A triple homicide at a Tupelo house party left three young people dead late on the night of July 24, 2021. Among the victims was 21-year-old Norahs Coleman, a male who was gunned down during the outbreak of violence that also killed 21-year-old Jessica Pannell and 22-year-old Robben Wilson.

Tupelo police identified four suspects in the case. Within days of the shooting, Javion Clifton and Shamar Carroll were arrested by local authorities, and Taquon Arnez Garth was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals in Jackson, Mississippi. The fourth suspect, 17-year-old Jaylen Antwan Wells at the time, was later found and arrested in Albany, New York, reportedly after using a false name while hiding. All four were charged with three counts of capital murder.

Two defendants reached plea agreements: Shamar Carroll pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to capital murder and received a 20-year sentence with five years suspended; Javion Clifton pleaded guilty to three counts of culpable negligent manslaughter and received consecutive 20-year sentences, and both agreed to testify against Wells and Garth. The trials for Jaylen Antwan Wells and Taquon Arnez Garth were still pending.

If anyone has information about Norahs Coleman or the events on Maynard Street that night, please come forward.
