Martin Luther Atkinson Jr., 25, was shot and killed outside the Wiggins Apartments on McGregor Street in Wiggins, Mississippi, on the evening of June 26, 2019. Emergency services took him to Forrest General Hospital in Hattiesburg, where he was pronounced dead at 6:23 p.m.

Within a day, police arrested two men in connection with the shooting. Nineteen-year-old Gevontae Johnson of Gulfport and 22-year-old Jerome Bester of Wiggins were taken into custody and each was charged with first-degree murder and with shooting into a dwelling. A judge set bond at $1 million for each defendant, and both remained held in custody as the case moved forward.

What information can anyone add about Martin’s last day, the scene at the Wiggins Apartments, or witnesses who might help piece together what happened?
