Lester Brooks Jr., 32, of Shuqualak, Mississippi, was shot in the chest after an altercation that began inside the Track Side nightclub and spilled outside shortly after midnight on June 23, 2018. Brooks, remembered by friends as LB, was rushed to the hospital by a friend but died of his injuries. He left behind two daughters and a two-month-old son and was remembered for organizing community events including kickball tournaments and a bike giveaway.

Investigators identified a suspect quickly. Twenty-year-old Traveon Jackson Mattix was arrested and charged with one count of murder and one count of aggravated assault; another man was also injured in the shooting. At the suspect’s first court appearance the Monday after the shooting, a judge set bond at $100,000 for the aggravated assault charge and denied bond on the murder charge.

Did anyone who knew LB or was at Track Side that night see what happened or have information that could help clarify the events?
