Cammie Burnett, a 76-year-old Black man from Fayette in Jefferson County, Mississippi, was shot and killed on February 11, 2016. Public memorial listings record him as lost to gun violence on that winter day and cemetery records for Little Zion Cemetery list a Cammie Burnette, Jr who died in 2016, suggesting his burial there.

Contemporary news coverage described the death as a brutal murder and reported that a suspect was arrested in connection with the case. Available gun-violence databases confirm the date, place, and that a firearm was involved, but do not preserve the suspect’s name, the specific charges, or the later outcome of any court proceedings.

The surviving public traces leave a clear fact pattern but few procedural details: an elderly rural resident shot and killed, authorities calling it a savage murder, and an arrest announced at the time.
