HANCOCK COUNTY, Miss. (WJTV) – A Hancock County grand jury indicted a Pass Christian man who was charged with killing two and injuring four during a house party in Bay St. Louis.

The Sun Herald reported Cameron Brand, 20, was indicted on two counts of first-degree murder and four counts of aggravated assault on March 20, 2025.

The mass shooting occurred on just after midnight on Sunday, April 30, 2023, in the 1000 block of Old Blue Meadow Road. Students had gathered for a party at the home on a sparsely populated road after Bay High School’s prom. The home is less than a mile from Bay High.

When police arrived, they found multiple people suffering from gunshot wounds. Some shooting victims had already been taken to local hospitals by private vehicles. Police said the victims were between the ages of 15 and 18.

The two victims who died were identified as 16-year-old Haeleigh Stamper and 18-year-old De’Arreis Smith.

Brand has been held at the Hancock County Jail since his arrest.
