Sigsbee W. Thompson, 46, was killed by multiple gunshot wounds on October 18, 2021, in the 800 block of Live Oak Street in Columbus, Texas. Columbus Police Department officers responding to reports of a shooting found Thompson suffering from multiple gunshot wounds and later pronounced him dead.

An arrest was made three days later, on October 21, 2021, when 25-year-old Columbus resident Dejan Dupri Carter was charged with Thompson’s murder. Carter’s case proceeded through the local courts and a conviction and sentence are described in records dated after the killing.

The shooting drew strong reaction from the Columbus community, which mourned Thompson’s death and followed the prosecution. Does anyone have information about what happened that night or knew Thompson and can help fill gaps in the timeline?
