A conversation between two men outside a home in Jackson, Mississippi, turned deadly on March 31, 2018, when 30-year-old Courtney DeWayne Butler was shot multiple times. He was privately transported to a local hospital and underwent emergency surgery but died of his injuries. Butler was a Jackson resident, born July 9, 1987, employed at Watkins Auto Sales and a married father to one son.

Jackson police identified a man seen fleeing the scene as 24-year-old Traunta Moore. Moore surrendered to authorities and was charged with murder in connection with Butler’s death. The shooting left Butler’s family and community grieving their sudden loss.

If anyone knew Courtney, saw him that day, or has information about the events outside that home, please share what is known with investigators.
