Noah and Nigel Among First Young People Lost

GULF COAST/NATION -- Noah Chamberlain and Nigel Poole are among the young people who have lost their lives during the start of 2016.



The country worried and then mourned with the Tennessee family of 2-year-old Noah Israel Chamberlain, who wandered away from his grandmother while they were on a hike. His body was found about a week later, on Jan. ???. Officials say Noah died of hypothermia, as temperatures dipped during the gigantic blizzard that hit the East Coast during the three-day weekend from Jan.


Nigel Poole of Gulfport was fatally wounded January 23 behind a home on 19th Street. A vigil was  held Wednesday night, Jan. 27, for the 16-year-old, who was allegedly shot by a 15-year-old.




Law enforcement determined that the body found in the vehicle of a missing Biloxi woman was indeed that of Tiffany Rae McDavid.  The 21-year-old had been employed with Winn-Dixie and Walmart.
Tiffany was seen Jan. 6 before she was reported missing Jan. 11. Her body was found Jan. 23  her parked car located in a wooded area near River Loop Drive in D'Iberville.



Twenty-three-year old Cordero "Cord" DeShaun Holmes died Jan. 16, 13 days before his January 28 birthday. He was born in Waterloo, Iowa, and moved to the Gulf Coast in 2002 with his family. They lived in Gulfport until Hurricane Katrina, then moved to Long Beach.


Cordero graduated from Long Beach High and Blue Cliff College, where he was a medical assistant major.

He was employed with Hood Lumber Yard in Wiggins. In his spare time, Cord enjoyed all sports, but especially football and fishing.
He is the son of Dianne Holmes and the late Rayfread Parker. He also is survived by fiancĂ© Kaitlyn Bodie, his daughter Di'Asia and several siblings.

He attended the Gulfport Community of Christ and helped with their food pantry.



A 17-year old was killed Jan. 23 during a dispute with two customers at his father's gun shop in the Henleyfield community in Pearl River County.
