Kelvin Simmons Jr., 47, was killed while working in Gulfport, Mississippi on August 30, 2022. Known as Goat to family and friends, he had been a long‑time truck driver before health problems from kidney disease forced him to change careers. He worked as an operator at the Port of Gulfport and ran a small lawn service; he was found shot while tending a client’s yard, still wearing a running leaf blower on his back.

Simmons left behind a daughter, two sons, numerous siblings, and a wide circle of friends who remember him as upbeat and fun to be around. Nearly two years after the shooting, Gulfport police arrested Jarvis Dante Daniels in connection with Simmons’s death.

If anyone knew Kelvin, saw him working that day, or has information about the shooting, please share what is known with investigators.
