On August 12, 2020, 61-year-old Everett Wayne Finley, also known as James Finley and Gator, was found with a gunshot wound at a home on Wilson Road in Abita Springs, Louisiana. He was taken to a nearby hospital but died of his injuries. The St. Tammany Parish Sheriff’s Office opened a homicide investigation into the shooting.

Investigators later focused on 57-year-old former co-worker Robert Dickerson, who was brought in for questioning and reportedly confessed to the shooting. Dickerson was arrested on a charge of second-degree murder and was also booked on outstanding warrants for possession of stolen firearms and illegal possession of unregistered weapons. A second person, 24-year-old Melissa Smith, was accused of assisting in concealing evidence; she was located in Waynesboro, Mississippi, and booked as a fugitive from St. Tammany Parish pending extradition.

Are there details about Finley’s movements or contacts in the days before August 12 that anyone can share?
