On July 30, 2019, in Southaven, Mississippi, 39-year-old Martez Terrell Abram, a Walmart employee who was suspended from his job, entered his workplace with a firearm and gunned down two of his co-workers, 40-year-old Anthony Brown and 38-year-old Brandon Gales, and wounded a police officer in a subsequent gunfight before he was arrested. Abram was said to be angered over his suspension for showing a knife to a fellow Walmart employee, which reportedly drove him to commit the shootings. Abram was found guilty of two counts of capital murder and one count of attempted murder, and sentenced to death in December 2022.
