Father and Daughter Found Shot to Death on Mississippi Gravel Road After Allegedly Traveling to Buy PS5
On March 2, 2026, at approximately 7:00 a.m., deputies with the Panola County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report of what appeared to be a one-vehicle crash along River Road on the outskirts of Sardis in Panola County, Mississippi.
A passerby had called 911 after noticing the vehicle.
When deputies arrived, they discovered two individuals inside suffering from apparent gunshot wounds.
The victims were identified as 39-year-old Victor Gonzalez and 19-year-old Serenity Gonzalez.
Both were pronounced deceased at the scene. Investigators said the double homicide may have occurred sometime late Saturday or early Sunday, though the exact timeline has not been confirmed.
A family member told media that Victor and Serenity were traveling to meet someone regarding a PlayStation 5 listed on Facebook Marketplace at the time of the shooting. Law enforcement has not publicly confirmed that detail.
Family members also stated they were told tire tracks at the scene suggested the vehicle may have been attempting to flee. Authorities have not verified that information.
Sheriff Shane Phelps confirmed he has spoken with the victims’ family but has not released details regarding what led up to the shooting. No suspects have been publicly identified, and a motive has not been confirmed.
Neighbors described the section of River Road where the vehicle was found as a lightly traveled gravel road primarily known to local residents.
According to family members, Victor and Serenity were electricians who worked on homes in the Memphis area.
The investigation remains ongoing.
