Justin Tre’Veyon Conrad was remembered by his aunt as being full of life, love, and joy. In his 24 years, he had accomplished things that made his family immensely proud. He was a twin, sharing a close bond with his brother, Jaelind.
On the evening of Sunday, October 11, 2026, the two brothers were at the Kabuki Hibachi & Juicy Seafood & Bar on Goodman Road in Horn Lake, Mississippi. Around 8:30 p.m., an argument erupted and gunfire shattered the normal restaurant atmosphere.
Horn Lake Police officers responded to calls of shots fired and arrived to a chaotic scene. They found Justin Conrad unresponsive, suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to Baptist DeSoto Hospital, but his injuries proved fatal, and he was pronounced dead.
While police were securing the scene at the restaurant, they learned of a second victim. Justin's twin brother, Jaelind Conrad, had been shot once in the abdomen. He arrived at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, before being transferred to the Regional One Health trauma center. He was listed in stable condition. The night's violence extended to a third person, 25-year-old Marterius McShane, who also appeared at Regional One with a single gunshot wound to his leg.
The Horn Lake Police Department, led by its investigators, began to piece together the events of that night. By interviewing witnesses and reviewing surveillance video from the restaurant, they identified McShane as the individual who had shot both Justin and Jaelind Conrad. According to the police, after shooting the brothers, McShane fled the scene. As he was running through the parking lot, an unknown individual fired shots in his direction, striking him in the leg.
Based on the evidence gathered, a murder warrant was issued for Marterius McShane in connection with the death of Justin Conrad. While he received treatment for his leg wound at Regional One Health in Memphis, McShane was detained by authorities. Police stated he would be taken into custody and transferred to Mississippi once he was medically cleared for release.
The investigation into the shooting remained active in the days that followed. A significant unanswered question was the identity of the person who shot McShane in the parking lot. Horn Lake Police continued to work on identifying this second shooter, but no immediate updates were provided. It was not publicly stated what led to the initial confrontation inside the restaurant that ended with such tragic consequences for the Conrad family.
As of October 2026, the case against Marterius McShane was pending his release from the hospital and subsequent arrest on the murder warrant. The community was left mourning the loss of a young man and grappling with the violence that had unfolded. Justin's aunt, Rosalyn Conrad, left a message on a memorial tribute wall, writing, "My sweet nephew…you were so full of life, love and joy…what you accomplished in 24 years made your family so proud. We love you forever!!!" The Horn Lake Police Department asked anyone with information regarding the shooting or the identity of the unknown shooter to contact them at 662-393-6174.
