Sunday morning shootout in Vicksburg leaves two seriously wounded

An early morning shooting incident in Vicksburg on the North Frontage Road has left at least two people seriously wounded.

The shooting occurred around 2:30 a.m. Sunday, Sept. 22, in the parking lot of Vicksburg Ford Lincoln (2431 N. Frontage Rd.) south of the Waffle House. Reportedly, about a dozen shots were fired.

Based on the number of areas that Vicksburg Police officers found shell casings, it’s possible that at least three shooters were involved, possibly more.

Two individuals with gunshot wounds subsequently showed up at Merit Health River Region West: Shemar Keyon Anderson, 18, shot in the chest area and Jatavius Devoils, 18, shot in the hip area, according to police.

Anderson was eventually airlifted to the University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, where his condition is listed as critical.

Devoils was taken by ambulance to UMMC, and was listed in serious condition.

This is an ongoing investigation. The Vicksburg Daily News will provide more details as they are available.
