Southaven, Mississippi — The family and loved ones of comedian Reginald “Reggie” Carroll are devastated by his death following a shooting on Burton Lane in Southaven, Mississippi, on August 20, 2025.
According to the DeSoto County Jail inmate roster, Tranell “Too Tall” Marquise Williams was booked on August 21, 2025, by the Southaven Police Department and is charged with Murder under Mississippi Code 97-3-19(1). He is held without bond.
(According to our sources, the family holds an official jail record reflecting a first court appearance, which is set for Aug. 27, 2025; members of the press and other media outlets can verify current details via the jail docket or the District Attorney’s Office.)
In a shocking discovery, Tranell Williams is alleged to have been associated with Katt Williams’ tour/security. Reggie himself worked with Katt in the past as a writer and tour coordinator, and was recently on tour with Williams.
According to our sources, the family of Carroll is demanding that the police release the arrest affidavit, incident/offense report, and full evidence inventory to clarify the ownership and tenancy of the Burton Lane residence as part of the official investigation, as they believe that there may be an ownership link to Katt Williams.
The family is also actively working with the Southaven, Mississippi, Police Department to discover more details pertaining to the murder, including who was involved, and if there is more action that needs to be taken that isn’t being addressed.
More details to come…
