Greenville Mall shooting under investigation after Saturday evening gunfire
Gunfire behind Greenville Mall turned Saturday evening into a tense scene, with witnesses hearing multiple shots and police finding casings and shattered glass.
Greenville police are investigating a shooting outside Greenville Mall after witnesses heard multiple gunshots behind the shopping center shortly before 6 p.m. Saturday. Evidence at the scene included several bullet casings and shattered glass, turning the retail corridor at 1651 MS-1, also listed as Highway 1 South, into an active crime scene as shoppers and workers were still nearby.
The mall is operated by Jim Wilson & Associates Inc. The city had 29,670 people in the 2020 Census.
The shooting came less than three weeks after city and law enforcement leaders gathered at Greenville City Hall on June 12 to announce significant reductions in violent crime, crediting proactive policing and community partnerships. It follows a Jan. 12 shooting on South Broadway that injured two people and a February 2025 shooting call at a Shell station on Highway 82 East that left Samuel Williams III dead.
Investigators were still working to determine who fired the shots and whether anyone was injured. Anyone who was in the mall area and has information should contact Crime Stoppers at 662-378-TIPS, and call 911 in an emergency.
