Three People Killed in Shooting and Car Crash near Robinsonville Casino

Three individuals tragically lost their lives in a shocking incident near a casino hotel in Robinsonville, Miss. over the weekend. The victims were traveling in a car when it was targeted by bullets, causing it to collide with a pole and subsequently burst into flames.

The Tunica County Sheriff’s Department is currently investigating the incident as a multiple homicide. The shooting and subsequent crash occurred on Friday at approximately 9:30 p.m. along Casino Center Drive. The victims have been identified as Tednequa Tenice Moore, 25, Deshun Montarrio Isabell, 24, and Steven Dewayne Burts, 23.

Authorities have not yet released the names of any suspects involved in the case. However, a relative of one of the victims disclosed that there was an existing grievance against one of the individuals in the car.

Teddy Moore, the father of one of the victims, spoke to Tennessee TV station WHBQ and revealed that the trio had gone to a sandwich shop for dinner before heading back to an undisclosed casino hotel. Moore expressed his disbelief and questioned the motive behind the attack, emphasizing that innocent lives were lost due to the assailants’ reckless actions.

The father further disclosed that he had heard rumors about his daughter’s boyfriend being involved in a dispute with someone. He expressed concern for her safety and had warned her about the potential danger. Despite his advice, she chose to ignore the warning, ultimately leading to this tragic outcome.

Moore strongly believes that the victims were being followed by their assailants, citing the presence of automatic weapons during the attack. He argued that it was not a mere coincidence for someone to be armed and encounter the person they were targeting.

The investigation into the incident is being conducted by the Mississippi Highway Patrol Crime Scene Unit Investigator from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, as well as the Mississippi Highway Patrol Reconstruction Team. Additionally, the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is involved in the case, alongside the Tunica County Sheriff’s Department.

To determine the exact cause and manner of death, each victim is scheduled to undergo an autopsy at the Mississippi Crime Laboratory, which houses the state medical examiner’s office.

Robinsonville, located approximately 30 miles south of Memphis, Tennessee, is home to several casinos, including the one near which the shooting took place. The local community has been left shocked and devastated by this senseless act of violence.

As the investigation continues, authorities are urging anyone with information regarding the incident to come forward and assist in finding justice for the victims and their grieving families..
