Jamarcus Townsend was 21 when he was shot dead on Tillman Street in Newton, Mississippi, just before midnight on March 17, 2017. Police found him deceased at the scene from multiple gunshot wounds. Investigators concluded his killing arose from an ongoing gang feud between the Vice Lords, with whom Townsend was affiliated, and the rival Black Disciples.

Authorities say members of the Black Disciples, including Richard Lofton, Jordan Myers, and Robbie Chapman, armed with a sawed-off shotgun and a 9mm handgun, went looking for Townsend that night. At least eight people were charged in connection with the slaying: Lyndell Jones, Robbie Chapman, and Richard Lofton were identified as the primary suspects accused of firing the fatal shots; others faced conspiracy or accessory charges. Several defendants pleaded guilty to conspiracy, manslaughter, or accessory charges and received multi-year sentences.

If anyone knew Jamarcus, his movements that night, or has information about the gang activity in Newton around March 2017, please share what can help the case.
