Christopher Rochelle, 37, was shot to death on September 4, 2017, in the parking lot of a Travelodge in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. Video surveillance shows him seated in the driver’s seat when a longtime friend who had accompanied him on a trip, 38-year-old Nicky Joe Johns, shot him in the back of the head. Rochelle and Johns had driven from Columbia, Tennessee, and had been using drugs in the days before the killing.

After the shooting, surveillance video shows Johns dragging Rochelle’s body from the vehicle and searching his pockets before leaving in the car. Investigators quickly identified Johns as the primary suspect; U.S. Marshals later found him in Lafayette, Louisiana, where a vehicle pursuit ended with his capture after he hid in a trash can.

The district attorney described the motive as greed. Does anyone have information about Rochelle’s last movements in Ocean Springs or about the days leading up to the trip that could shed light on what happened?
