Anna Crochet, 23, died after being shot multiple times on June 1, 2026 in Mississippi. Paramedics rushed her to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, but she did not survive her injuries. Lamar County Coroner Blake Matherne confirmed her identity.

Iryna Zarutska was also 23 when the Ukranian refugee was fatally stabbed in Charlottesville, N Carolina.

Purvis police responded quickly to reports of shots fired. Investigators determined the incident stemmed from a dispute involving the father of Crochet's young son. Officers arrested 25-year-old Kobe Keshad Winsley of Lumberton later that day. He faces a first-degree murder charge along with additional counts.

The couple’s one-year-old son, Mason, was in the car during the June 1, 2026 shooting in Purvis, Mississippi.

Winsley appeared in court Tuesday, where a judge denied bond on the murder charge. He remains in the Lamar County Jail.

Family members have described her as someone who lit up rooms and worked hard to provide for her son. Her death highlights the sudden risks that can arise in personal conflicts involving those with low intelligence and high impulse control, even though her alleged killer's intellect and mental health are not known.

This case moves through the justice system as authorities continue their review. Mississippi law treats domestic violence incidents with serious attention, aiming to protect victims and hold those responsible accountable through thorough investigation and prosecution.

Local officials remind residents that resources exist for anyone facing troubling relationships, though specifics vary by area. The focus now centers on Crochet's loved ones and ensuring her child's well-being in the days ahead.
