Eighteen-year-old Fredarrious Wilson of West Memphis, Arkansas, was last seen March 5, 2023. A high school senior, he told his mother he was going to the movies with a friend but did not return and stopped answering calls and texts. Surveillance footage reportedly showed him with a woman at a McDonald’s in West Memphis the night he vanished, and his mother later learned he had been with someone other than the friend he had mentioned.

Investigators tracked his phone to a remote area in Holly Springs National Forest in Yalobusha County, Mississippi. After an initial unsuccessful search, a U.S. Forest Service employee found Wilson’s body on March 8, 2023. Investigators determined he had sustained multiple gunshot wounds.

Authorities said the killing did not appear random and that Wilson knew at least one person involved. By mid-March four people from Coffeeville, Mississippi — 22-year-old Alicia Jackson, 23-year-old Brandon Jackson, 23-year-old Bralin Jackson, and 27-year-old Devin Smith — were arrested and charged with first-degree murder; bond for each was set at $1 million. If anyone knew Fredarrious or saw him the night of March 5, please share what you remember.
