Don Owens, 29, was shot and killed in Natchez, Mississippi, on the evening of December 17, 2018. He was at a friend’s house when he stepped outside after receiving a phone call; moments later multiple gunshots were heard. Owens was found in a darkened alley beside the residence with a gunshot wound to his back. His mother, Rebecca Owens, has said she believes he was lured into the alley and ambushed.

Investigators continued the case for more than two years while Owens’ mother pushed for answers. In July 2021 police announced they had audio recordings of two men, Damien Hayes and DiQuan Seals, discussing a conspiracy to murder Owens. Hayes was arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit murder and a warrant was issued for Seals on the same charge. A mistrial was later declared for both men, leaving the case unresolved.

If anyone has information about Don Owens, his movements on December 17, 2018, or the people involved, please share what is known with investigators.
