In the quiet early morning hours of January 21, 2019, the city of Corinth, Mississippi, was disturbed by the sound of gunfire on Tate Street. Responding to the incident just after midnight, police discovered a grim scene. Two men, 28-year-old Black male Daniel Gunn and Latavious Rogers, were found shot to death. Gunn's body was located in the front yard of a residence, while Rogers was found in the backyard.
Neighbors reported hearing the gunshots that shattered the night's silence, with some recounting the chaotic moments that followed. Witnesses told investigators they saw a small green car speeding away from the area immediately after the shooting. The Corinth Police Department quickly launched a homicide investigation, collecting evidence from the scene, including shell casings and a handgun.
Despite the initial witness accounts and the evidence recovered, the investigation into the double homicide has not led to any arrests. The motive for the killings remains unclear to the public, though some initial speculation by neighbors suggested the possibility of an attempted robbery. Authorities have not released any information about potential suspects. The case of who killed Daniel Gunn and Latavious Rogers remains unsolved, and the Corinth Police Department continues to seek information from the public that could lead to a breakthrough in the investigation.
