Robert Robertson Jr., 24, a member of the Mississippi National Guard, was shot and killed at the Circle Z Gas Station in Sardis, Mississippi, on May 18, 2019. The Panola County coroner identified him at the scene after the shooting, which occurred in the late morning around noon near the intersection of Highways 315 and 51.

Investigators determined the shooting was not random and said Robertson and the man who shot him had an ongoing feud; details of that dispute were not released. Law enforcement detained a suspect at the scene and later identified him as Mark Burton of Como, Mississippi. Burton was charged with first-degree murder and was expected to make an initial court appearance to face those charges.

If anyone was at the Circle Z Gas Station that day or has information about the feud between Robertson and Burton, please come forward to help clarify what happened.
