LELAND, Miss. (AP) — A seventh person has died from injuries sustained in a mass shooting after a high school football game earlier this month in the Mississippi Delta city of Leland, a coroner said.
Washington County Coroner LaQuesha Watkins said in a news release Saturday that the Hinds County Coroner’s Office informed her office on Friday that Ebanee Williams, 25, had died.
Nine people have been arrested, several of them charged with capital murder, in connection with the shooting that occurred around midnight on October 11 that also left more than a dozen people injured.

The FBI’s Jackson field office has been releasing photos of suspects wanted for questioning in the mass shooting. It happened while people were celebrating homecoming weekend in downtown Leland shortly after the football game.
Authorities have not revealed a possible motive for the Leland shooting, but the FBI has said the shooting appears to have been “sparked by a disagreement between several individuals.”
