A feud between two cousins turns a gym parking lot into a bloody crime scene today. Biloxi Chief John Miller said, “There was a dispute in the parking lot and someone was shot and killed.”
Allen Harris was pulling into work at Iron Works Gym off of Eisenhower Drive in Biloxi when he noticed the parking lot swarming with police. “Everybody was calling me asking what was going on, so it was definitely a big stir. Definitely a big deal,” he said.
Twenty-six year old Chris Andre Fairley shot multiple times, killing his 21-year-old cousin Mark Anthony Fairley in broad daylight. A witness tells News 25 he heard three to four gunshots go off.
