Arthur Etheridge, 34, was killed in Gulfport, Mississippi, on July 6, 2017. He was seated in the passenger seat of a vehicle in the O’Neal Road Apartments parking lot when a man approached and, according to court testimony, placed a gun behind Etheridge’s right ear, pushed him and then shot him. The driver took Etheridge to Garden Park Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead from a gunshot wound.

Prosecutors say the shooting stemmed from an allegation of infidelity: Etheridge had reportedly told a woman her boyfriend was running around on her. The boyfriend, identified as 44-year-old Marcus Reginald Hosey, had allegedly earlier brandished a Russian-made pistol during a video chat and threatened the woman. Police recovered a 7.62x25mm shell casing at the scene; Hosey was arrested the same day and charged with first-degree murder, and a judge found probable cause to send the case to a grand jury. Defense attorneys have suggested the gun may have discharged accidentally; prosecutors say the shooting was intentional.

Does anyone have information about what happened at the O’Neal Road Apartments that morning?
