On the night of September 9, 2015, 31-year-old Mark Anthony Cornett was shot once in the back of the head in Shreveport, Louisiana, while seated in a dark Lincoln sedan on the I-20 westbound exit ramp at Monkhouse Drive. The gunshot was described as execution-style and proved immediately fatal. Cornett, Todd Scruggs and Lacey Smith were in the car and were connected to the local drug scene; Scruggs and Smith fled the vehicle after the shooting and the shooter also ran off after a brief confrontation.

Investigators focused on passenger Dylan James Magluilo. A wet bag he had carried was recovered nearby and contained men’s clothing and Hornady 9 mm bullets matching the ammunition used in the killing; the murder weapon was found hidden about 50 feet from that bag. Magluilo reportedly told two people that he had shot Cornett, giving differing accounts of motive. He was arrested, tried and on November 10, 2017, a 12-person jury found him guilty of second-degree murder; on November 20, 2017, he received life without parole.

Does anyone who knew Mark Cornett or who was in that area that night have information that could add detail to what happened?
