On the evening of May 19, 2016, 34-year-old Zerrick Ward answered a knock at his front door in Magnolia, Mississippi and was shot and killed by an unknown assailant. The attack at his own doorstep was sudden and fatal; Ward was described as a devoted father and his death deeply affected family and friends in the small town.

Investigators have not announced any arrests or identified suspects, and the case remains an unsolved homicide. Motive has not been determined, leaving many questions about why Ward was targeted.

If anyone knew Zerrick, saw suspicious activity near his home that night, or has information that could help solve this killing, please come forward to the authorities.
