Atavius Horton, 24, was shot and killed on the morning of May 17, 2019, in the front yard of a home in Lexington, Mississippi. The shooting followed a dispute the previous night involving another woman.

Investigators focused on Ashia Williams-Forrest after witnesses said she had been searching for Horton that morning, expressed an intent to kill him, and was seen with multiple firearms in her vehicle. When Horton returned to her residence, the confrontation escalated and he was fatally shot. Williams-Forrest was arrested and charged with first-degree murder; a Holmes County jury convicted her after a three-day trial and the court imposed a life sentence. An appeal of the conviction was later denied, leaving the verdict and sentence in place.

Are there details about Horton’s movements the night before or the morning of May 17 that anyone in the area can add?
