In the early morning hours of Valentine's Day in 2014, a gathering for a dice game in Grenada, Mississippi, turned fatal for Izzic Terrell Townes. A Black/African American male, Townes was 43 years old at the time of his death. The Grenada Police Department received a call about a shooting on the 600 block of Govan Street shortly after 3 a.m. and arrived to find that Townes had been shot.
An altercation that erupted during the dice game escalated to the point of gunfire, resulting in the mortal wounding of Townes. The investigation into the shooting was a collaborative effort between the Grenada Police Department and the Grenada Sheriff's Department. Despite their work on the case, the investigation has not led to any publicly announced arrests or the naming of any suspects.
Years have passed since the death of Izzic Terrell Townes, and the case has grown cold, leaving his family and the community without a sense of closure.
