Marcus Hutchinson was 36 when he was shot and killed in Indianola, Mississippi, on the evening of October 18, 2019. Officers responding to Front Avenue Extended found Hutchinson with two life-threatening gunshot wounds; he died despite first responders’ efforts. Witnesses identified Leradrick Gardner as the shooter, and detectives later located and questioned Gardner, who confessed.

The shooting reportedly followed a physical altercation that escalated. Gardner had a prior aggravated assault from 2017. He later pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and was sentenced for this killing and several other offenses, including the previous aggravated assault and a business burglary.

Did anyone who knew Marcus or was in that neighborhood on October 18, 2019, see anything that could help clarify what led to the fight?
