Anthony Watts, a 61-year-old pastor, was shot and killed on a Monday evening while stopped on Interstate 55 in Jackson, Mississippi after pulling over to assist a man who appeared to have been in a motorcycle accident. The assailant shot Watts multiple times, left him at the scene, and stole Watts’s red Dodge Ram pickup truck.

Authorities later identified the shooter as 22-year-old Dylan Arrington, who had been one of four inmates who recently escaped from the Raymond Detention Center. Arrington had been jailed on charges of auto theft and illegal possession of a firearm at the time of his escape. Two days after Watts’s murder, law enforcement located Arrington at a residence; a standoff ended when the house caught fire and Arrington was found dead inside.

Pastor Watts’s family and congregation were left mourning a man described as someone who stopped to help others and was killed while doing so. Does anyone have information about Watts, the red Dodge Ram, or the events that night?
