Adrian Wilchie, 44, was shot multiple times in the head with a 9 mm weapon and found dead near his running pickup truck at a stop sign on Second Street in the Goose Pond subdivision of Sumner, Mississippi, in the early morning hours of July 23, 2020. His wallet was missing from the scene, and investigators concluded robbery was the motive.

Authorities identified two suspects, Quardero M. Gipson and Quincy Qutexz Scott, and recovered two 9 mm handguns at a Crowder residence where they were taken into custody. Forensic testing linked one pistol to the killing by detecting Wilchie’s blood on the weapon. Scott cooperated with prosecutors, pleaded guilty in April 2021 to second-degree murder in exchange for a reduced charge, and the conspiracy count against him was dismissed.

Gipson’s trial began October 31, 2022, in Tallahatchie County. After several days of testimony, including Scott’s, a jury found Quardero M. Gipson guilty of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit armed robbery on November 3, 2022. Gipson fought with officers while being escorted from the courtroom. What further information does anyone with knowledge of Wilchie’s movements that night or the suspects’ activities have to share?
