A dispute in Oxford, Mississippi, in late winter 2017 ended with the death of 31-year-old Kenya Jawaan ’KJ’ Hill. On the evening of March 9, Hill and another man, Chris Paten (also known as Chris Caine), argued at the Brittany Estate apartment complex. The argument escalated and Paten allegedly shot Hill four times in the upper chest and head. Hill was rushed to Regional One Medical Center in Memphis, Tennessee, where he died after a week of treatment. He was a father of five.

Law enforcement named Chris Paten the primary suspect and initially charged him with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon; after Hill’s death the charge was upgraded to murder. Paten, who had been out on bail from a December 2015 arrest for armed robbery and felon in possession of a firearm, disappeared and a manhunt followed. He was located and arrested by U.S. Marshals in Jackson, Mississippi, in May 2017 and returned to Lafayette County. A grand jury later indicted him on one count of capital murder; he subsequently pleaded guilty to a reduced charge and received a term of imprisonment.

Did anyone in Oxford or at Brittany Estate see the argument on March 9 or have information about interactions between Hill and Paten leading up to the shooting?
