In the early morning of June 7, 2017, 68-year-old Clifford Burke was shot and killed in Lakeshore, Mississippi, while towing his boat near the intersection of Lakeshore Road and Pleasant Street. Burke flagged down a passerby and reported he had been robbed; he later died of gunshot wounds to the neck and abdomen after also being beaten.

Burke told investigators his attacker pulled him over in a white Crown Victoria with a strobe light in the front grill, making it look like an unmarked police car. Deputies later spotted a matching vehicle in a casino parking lot and arrested 40-year-old Christopher Neely May of New Orleans. Officers recovered the weapon used in the killing.

Prosecutors said May, intoxicated on drugs and alcohol and recently ejected from a casino, pulled Burke over because he wanted to go fishing; an argument then turned fatal. In September 2019 May pleaded guilty to first-degree murder and was sentenced to life without parole. Does anyone have information about Burke’s final hours or witnessed the vehicle that day?
