On May 4, 2018, 31-year-old Lorenzo Kim Biggs was shot in the chest and leg at a residence on Dupont Avenue in Pascagoula, Mississippi. He was taken to Singing River Hospital and later died of his injuries. Biggs was a Black male, a father, and remembered by family and friends for his fun-loving, honest nature.

The investigation produced arrests. Rouvell Jerome ’Rudy’ Thigpen, 28 at the time, turned himself in to the Pascagoula Police Department and was charged with murder; authorities identified him as the boyfriend of Biggs’s estranged wife. Police also arrested 28-year-old Octavia Williams-Biggs on a charge of accessory after the fact, though her alleged role was not publicly detailed. In November 2018 a Jackson County grand jury declined to indict Octavia Williams-Biggs and that charge was dismissed; Thigpen remained in custody on the murder charge.

If anyone in Pascagoula knew Lorenzo or has information about the night of May 4, please share what you know.
