NATCHEZ — One Alcorn State University student is dead and another in custody following an off-campus shooting Thursday at a Lorman trailer park.

The body of Danielle Nicole Newsom, 22, of Natchez, was found at approximately 9:15 a.m. Thursday at Stallings Trailer Park on Mississippi 552, Claiborne County Sheriff Frank Davis said.

Davis said Newsom was shot five times with a .22 pistol. Two of the bullets struck Newsom in the chest and head.

Eboni Bena White, 21, of Port Gibson, has been identified as the shooting suspect. White was arrested at the scene without incident and is being held at the Claiborne County Jail without bond.

Davis said Newsom and White both lived in the trailer park, and the shooting may have been the result of a fight the two students had earlier this week.

Davis said White accused Newsom of nearly running over her son as he got off the school bus.

Claiborne County Coroner James Mallet said Newsom’s body has been transferred to the Mississippi Crime Lab in Jackson. Preliminary autopsy results are expected today.
