Billy Dewayne Mims was a 40-year-old lifelong Greenwood, Mississippi resident, born June 27, 1977, known in town as a hardworking auto mechanic and a member of the Baptist community. Local obituary notices report he was found dead at his home on the weekend of June 23–24, 2018; overlapping accounts record his death as the result of gunfire and describe the incident as a homicide.

Coverage from The Greenwood Commonwealth placed Mims’ killing among a painful series of gun homicides in Leflore County that year and noted the sheriff’s office saying a 29-year-old man had been charged with murder in the shooting.
