On the early morning of February 16, 2020, 27-year-old Datrae Dontreice Hicks was shot and killed during a confrontation at the Pilot Truck Stop in Marston, Missouri. Hicks, born in Sikeston and a 2011 graduate of New Madrid County Central High School, was a father and is remembered by family and friends for his love of basketball, dominoes, and spades. Emergency responders arrived but Hicks died of his wounds.

Surveillance and cellphone video from the truck stop captured the events leading up to the shooting and were used by investigators to reconstruct the timeline. Authorities identified 38-year-old Jeremy Guest of New Madrid as the primary suspect; prosecutors charged him with multiple felonies including first-degree robbery and armed criminal action, and he was held without bond. At trial in June 2022 the defense said Guest acted in self-defense and in defense of his brother, while prosecutors relied on the video. The jury convicted Guest of voluntary manslaughter, robbery, armed criminal action, and unlawful use of a weapon, and he was sentenced to 42 years on August 5, 2022.

Did anyone who knew Datrae or who was at the truck stop that morning see or record anything that could add detail to the timeline?
