Cedric Willis was 44 when he was shot and killed on June 24, 2019, in Jackson, Mississippi, about two blocks from his home. Willis had spent 12 years in prison for a 1994 murder and armed robbery conviction that he maintained was wrongful; he was convicted at age 19 and later exonerated and released in 2006 with help from the Innocence Project New Orleans.

After his release, Willis worked as a motivational speaker and advocated for voter registration. Jackson police opened a homicide investigation into his killing; by early July 2019 no arrests had been announced, and investigators had not publicly identified suspects or a motive, though several people were interviewed.
