On a Thursday morning in February 2018, 50-year-old Henry Glen Renfroe was shot and killed at his Patterson Road home in rural Yazoo County, Mississippi. The incident began about 9:25 a.m. when a silver car carrying two people stopped near the residence. A Black man from the car asked for water; after being given a container and asked for a larger one, a second masked person armed with a rifle entered the home and demanded money.

Renfroe’s son and three other people were inside. A struggle for control of the rifle broke out between Renfroe’s son and the masked intruder. When Renfroe ran to help his son, he was struck by a single, fatal gunshot. The two suspects fled in the same silver car. The Yazoo County Sheriff’s Department, assisted by the Mississippi Bureau of Investigations, questioned all witnesses and reported their accounts were consistent, but the suspects were not identified.

As of early 2019 the case remained unsolved with no arrests or publicly named suspects. If anyone knew about the silver car, the two people who arrived, or events on Patterson Road that morning, please share information with investigators.
