On the morning of Friday, January 13, 2017, a passerby found 22-year-old Marquez Schaffer of Jackson, Mississippi, fatally shot once in the leg near the back entrance of Jackson State University at University Boulevard and Lynch Street. Schaffer was discovered before 6 a.m.; investigators followed a trail of blood from that spot back toward Minerva and Olin streets, where shell casings and other evidence indicated he had been shot and then fled toward the campus before collapsing.

Detectives collected surveillance footage from businesses and homes near both locations and circulated a still image of a person seen driving a light-colored Buick. That image was initially described as a woman, but on January 27, 2017, police identified the person as 29-year-old Walter Randle, described by officers as a crossdresser, and arrested him on a murder charge in Schaffer’s death.

Did anyone in the Jackson State area see the light-colored Buick or recognize the person in the surveillance image?
