The events that unfolded at an Easter egg hunt in Mississippi this past weekend have left a community in shock and mourning. Eddie Shed, a deacon at the Empowerment Ministries Christian Center in Gulfport, was tragically shot and killed while protecting members of his congregation from gunfire. The suspect, 24-year-old Tyran Deion Gable, allegedly opened fire during a “child custody dispute,” resulting in the senseless loss of Shed’s life.

Described as a “hero” by those who knew him, Shed, a devoted father, sacrificed himself to shield two individuals who were trying to de-escalate the situation. His bravery and selflessness in the face of danger have left a lasting impact on the community.

Church member Alexis Weathersby spoke of Shed’s character, stating, “He died a hero doing what he does best, and that’s protecting and that’s loving and that’s looking out for everyone.” The tragic incident not only claimed Shed’s life but also resulted in another victim being airlifted to an out-of-state hospital for treatment.

Gable, the alleged shooter, was also injured in the incident and subsequently arrested and charged with murder. The pastor of the EMCC, Gregg Magee, praised Shed for his courage and sacrifice, emphasizing that he was a pillar of strength and a beacon of hope in the community.

The pastor’s words reflect the sentiment of many who knew Shed, as they mourn the loss of a beloved member of their congregation. The day that started with laughter and joy at the Easter egg hunt quickly turned into a scene of tragedy and heartbreak due to the senseless act of violence.

The legacy of Eddie Shed, the hero deacon who gave his life to protect others, will forever be remembered in the hearts of those who knew him. His unwavering faith, kindness, and dedication to serving others serve as a reminder of the impact one individual can have on a community.
