Pastor Anthony Finch Longino, 62, was shot and killed while unlocking New Bethany Missionary Baptist Church in Jackson, Mississippi, on a Sunday morning in January 2019. He was found just outside the church entrance after multiple individuals confronted him with the intent to rob him; the assailants stole his 2018 Dodge Ram pickup truck and fled. The killing deeply affected the local community and prompted calls for an end to rising violence in the city.

Jackson Police launched an investigation that same day. Acting on community tips, the Jackson-Hinds SWAT team arrested 22-year-old Marquez Hamilton; he confessed and identified three others, leading to the arrests of Morgan Quinn, 19, Darren Clark, and Bernard Randall. All four were initially charged with capital murder, armed robbery, auto theft, and conspiracy. In October 2021 Morgan Quinn’s capital murder charge was reduced to second-degree murder and aggravated assault; he received an effective 40-year term with 10 years suspended and five years supervised probation, plus a concurrent 20-year sentence for aggravated assault.

Does anyone have information about the robbery, the stolen truck, or the people involved that could shed more light on this case?
