Dad and daughter were killed while picking up a PlayStation 5 on Facebook Marketplace, according to the family.

Victor Gonzalez, 42, and his daughter Serenity Gonzalez, 19, both from Memphis, were found shot to death on March 1, 2026, in a suspected double homicide after responding to what appeared as a single-vehicle crash on a remote gravel road—River Road near Sardis, Mississippi. Family member Jessie Waterman, 15, believes they were lured via a Facebook Marketplace listing for a PlayStation 5, leaving home on February 28 and never returning, possibly falling victim to a robbery setup.​

Scene and Timeline

Panola County Sheriff’s Office deputies arrived around 7 a.m. Sunday to discover the pair deceased from multiple gunshot wounds inside their vehicle, which showed signs of veering off-road into mud and tracks suggesting an escape attempt. The attack likely occurred February 28 or March 1; no arrests have been made in the ongoing probe.​

Family Perspective

Waterman suspects foul play during the transaction, telling outlets like WREG and WATN that “something must’ve happened with the transaction,” potentially a scam ambush about 50 miles south of Memphis. The family mourns the devoted father and vibrant teen, urging tips to Crimestoppers at 662-209-2011.
