Justin T. Nixon, 28, was killed in Picayune, Mississippi, after a family dispute on the evening of Tuesday, February 27, 2018. A physical fight between Justin and his cousin, Malcolm Nixon, at Malcolm’s home on Jarrell Street escalated when Justin ran from the scene. Justin managed to reach a yard at 203 Jarrell Street before collapsing; his body was found the next afternoon and the Picayune Police Department opened an investigation.

Malcolm Nixon was arrested and charged with first-degree murder. Burkett was charged with accessory before the fact to murder and hindering prosecution, and Cheramie was charged with hindering prosecution. In November 2019 Malcolm pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 30-year state prison sentence; the charges against Burkett and Cheramie were dismissed as part of that plea agreement.

Are there details about the evening of February 27 that anyone in Picayune remembers or can help clarify?
