A 25-year-old male, Chauncey “Cam” Carter, lost his life on the night of Wednesday, December 21, 2022, in his hometown of Waynesboro, Mississippi. A former resident of Quitman and a 2016 graduate of Wayne County High School, Carter was remembered as a standout football player for the War Eagles.
The fatal incident unfolded as a drive-by shooting on East Hill Drive, tragically claiming not only Carter's life but also that of 16-year-old Tiera Gambriel Harris.
The violent event sent shockwaves through the community, leaving friends and family to mourn the sudden loss of two young lives.
In the wake of the killings, the Waynesboro Police Department launched a homicide investigation. Despite their efforts, the case has grown cold. More than a year after the shooting, authorities have expressed their struggle with a lack of forthcoming information from the public. Investigators have repeatedly canvassed the area of the crime with little success. To date, no arrests have been made in connection with the deaths of Chauncey “Cam” Carter and Tiera Gambriel Harris, and no suspects have been publicly named. The police continue to appeal to the community for any information that might lead to a breakthrough in this unsolved case.
