Robert Lester Cox II, 40, was killed on October 26, 2020, after traveling to Houston, Mississippi, with his stepdaughter to buy a vehicle advertised on social media. The meeting was a deception: the pair were ambushed by three people, and Cox was fatally shot while his stepdaughter escaped and hid until officers arrived. Cox was co-owner of a construction company and worked as an operator for a water association.

The investigation identified three suspects from Houston: Jarquavious Doss, Jeremiah Fears, and Lamarius Spraggins. Charges included capital murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.

If anyone knew Robert, his movements that day, or has information about the ambush, please share what is known with investigators.
