The police not only found the shooters, they arrested them.

The suspects are accused of killing 21-year-old Marcus “MJ” Daniels, Jr., at Ivy Row Apartments on Tuesday, June 11.
Daniels was a star cornerback for USM, after transferring from Ole Miss.

Gardner was charged as an adult with one count of capital murder and one count of attempted armed carjacking. Green was also charged as an adult with one count of capital murder and one count of attempted armed carjacking.
It is horrible that three young men killed Daniels. Daniels was found in his car shot to death.
