COLUMBUS, Miss. (WTVA) — Police in Columbus, Mississippi are investigating a Christmas Eve shooting that left one person dead and four others wounded.

It happened before 11 p.m. on Luxapalila Drive, which is near the north side of Propst Park.

Incoming Police Chief Joseph Daughtry says officers found a 48-year-old man dead when they showed up.

He identified the other shooting victims as a 56-year-old woman and three other men ages 38, 28 and 22 years old.

According to Daughtry, the shooting stemmed from an argument between the 48-year-old and the 22-year-old men.

Officers have not arrested anyone, but Daughtry said police have a person of interest.
