Four people have been arrested in connection with a shooting spree at a Mississippi homecoming football game that killed six and injured more than a dozen, according to authorities.
Teviyon L. Powell, 29; William Bryant, 29; and Morgan Lattimore, 25, have been charged with capital murder, and Latoya A. Powell, 44, has been charged with attempted murder for Friday’s shooting, a spokesperson for the FBI’s Jackson Field Office announced Monday.
Earlier this week, the FBI announced they were seeking the public’s help in locating the whereabouts of four individuals in connection with the shooting.
On Sunday, the agency released photos of one female and three males shown in surveillance video and identified in an FBI poster as “unknown suspects.”
Other arrests are currently pending, authorities added.
The shooting occurred around midnight on Main Street in Leland, Mayor John Lee previously told The Post.
The four victims who died on the scene were identified by the county coroner as Oreshama Johnson, 41; Calvin Plant, 19; Shelbyona Powell, 25; and Kaslyn Johnson, 18, WBLT reported.
Amos Brantley, 18, and JaMichael Jones, 34, later died from their injuries at the hospital, the outlet reported.
Ten others were treated at the hospital. Their identities have not been released.
Several of the victims included recent graduates of Leland High School who returned for a popular annual reunion at the school’s homecoming football game.
The gunfire came out of nowhere, recalled witness Jennifer Buckner, who was enjoying the party with her niece and some friends.
The first round was just a few quick shots that didn’t completely disrupt the party, but it resumed several minutes later and delved into chaos.
“It was maybe 10 minutes of consistent, perpetual, automatic rounds being let off. …It went on for so long. And people just started running,” Buckner told The Post.
The FBI said the gunfire appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement among several individuals,” but has not disclosed an exact motive for the bloodbath.
Two other people were killed in a separate homecoming football game shooting on the east side of the state in Heidelberg Friday night.
Two people, including a pregnant woman, were found dead on Heidelberg High School’s campus on the same evening of the game, according to police and Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves.
Police have not yet confirmed when the gunfire occurred or if it was near the stadium
An 18-year-old man was arrested and charged with two counts of murder and illegally having a gun on a school campus in connection with the Heidelberg shooting, Jasper County Jail records show.
