A Vicksburg man who was shot in the head Tuesday night died early Wednesday morning at University of Mississippi Medical Center in Jackson, according to information from the Vicksburg Police Department.

Reginald Gaines, 30, 163 Elizabeth Circle, died about 2:07 a.m. Wednesday, almost four hours after he was shot while riding in a car travelling on U.S. 61 South.

The shooting was one of three occurring between 5:30 p.m. Tuesday and 1:50 a.m. Wednesday.

Gaines was sitting in the rear seat of a car traveling south on U.S. 61 South when he was shot in the head.

Police Capt. Sandra Williams said investigators were interviewing people Thursday “and we expect charges to be filed” in the shooting.

The preliminary investigation into the shooting indicate the occupants of the car in which Gaines was a passenger had been involved earlier in an argument with the occupants of another vehicle at a convenience store on U.S. 61 South. After he was shot, he was take in the car to Merit Health River Region and later airlifted to University Mississippi Medical Center where he dies.

Officials at Merit Health River Region called police about Gaines, and officers responded to the hospital. Several minutes after the shooting, police received a 911 call from a home on Buford Drive in Warren County that a man had been shot in the head.

About three hours after Gaines was shot, at 1:50 a.m., police received reports of shots being fired in the vicinity of the 3700 block of Halls Ferry Road. The victim said a vehicle was following him on Cain Ridge Road, shooting at his vehicle and striking it.

Police have several individuals detained presently in reference to both shootings.

Williams said investigators believe the reported shooting may be related to the shooting that killed Gaines.

DeShawn Williams, age 25, 502 Farmer St., is accused of shooting his girlfriend in the chest during the argument. The woman was taken to Rivber Region with what was termed a non life-threatening wound.
