Something like this:

     location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) {
         return  301  http://example.com/users/$REST$is_args$args;
     }

However, if you do not want to care about location order in future, this is 
better:

     location /people/ {
         location ~ ^/people/(?<REST>.+) {
             return  301  http://example.com/users/$REST$is_args$args;
         }
     }
