Michael Lossett, 38, was fatally shot inside a Gulfport home on River Road on the evening of August 7, 2018. Earlier that day Lossett and Cassity Teer, who had a prior relationship, spent time together; that reunion reportedly sparked jealousy in Teer’s partner, Sandra Marie Goff. When Lossett returned to the house later that evening an argument broke out and Goff retrieved a .22-caliber rifle and shot Lossett once in the chest. Teer placed a 911 call during which the dispatcher overheard her tell Goff to get rid of the weapon; Goff later discarded the rifle in the Biloxi River and it was not recovered.

Goff, then 23, was arrested at the scene and initially charged with first-degree murder; Teer was also charged. Both women later pleaded guilty to lesser counts. In January 2020 Goff pleaded guilty to manslaughter and received a 20-year prison sentence, saying she had asked Lossett to leave and that he advanced toward her before she fired. Teer pleaded guilty to accessory after the fact to murder for her actions after the shooting.

Does anyone have information about Lossett’s movements earlier on August 7, 2018, or about witnesses who saw him arrive at the River Road residence?
