In the late summer of 2016, a night out in Meridian, Mississippi, turned tragic for Sirmacio Nevardo Wright, a 36-year-old man. On the evening of Saturday, August 27, Wright was at a nightclub located near 16th Avenue and 4th Street when he was shot. In the immediate aftermath, he was privately transported to a local hospital for medical attention.
His injuries, however, proved to be grave, and he remained hospitalized for nearly a month, unable to provide investigators with any information about the person or persons responsible for the shooting.
Despite the efforts of medical staff, Sirmacio Wright succumbed to his injuries on Sunday, September 25, 2016. At the time of the incident, the Meridian Police Department noted that many people were present at the nightclub and urged any witnesses to come forward with information.
