Jackson Family Shattered by Triple Homicide

In Jackson, the community is mourning the loss of three lives tragically cut short. Keyana Weathersby, 26, her 30-year-old sister Erica Weathersby, and Keyana's 2-year-old son, Camari Givens, were victims of what authorities are calling a targeted and intentional attack. The crime has deeply affected DeMarco Bailey, who was still processing the loss of his wife two years ago, only to suffer this profound tragedy.

Authorities have made significant progress in the investigation, arresting four suspects: Devone Modacure, Mikala Keyon Young, Cornelius Carter, and Jordan Carter, all facing capital murder charges. Evidence suggests a department-issued rifle stolen from a police vehicle weeks before the homicides was the weapon used. This incident highlights a surge in violence in Jackson, with June marking one of the city's most violent months on record. A home-going celebration was held to honor the lives of the Weathersby sisters and young Camari.
