A Mississippi teen was killed and another in jail after a dispute over a pair of Nike Jordans shoes.
Gulfport police say Cassius Vaughn Hanzy, 16, was initially arrested on a charge of committing a drive-by shooting, but that charges are likely to change after the shooting victim died.
The shooting occurred at approximately 11 p.m. Saturday on 29th Street in Gulfport.
Investigators said Hanzy fired a gun multiple times from a car, striking a 16-year-old boy who later died from his wounds.
The shooting, police said, stemmed from an earlier fight over a pair of Nike Jordan athletic shoes.
