On the night of December 21, 2016, 48-year-old business owner Swaran Singh was found shot to death in the storage room of D’s One Stop Food Market on Highway 80 East in Brandon, Mississippi. A customer who entered the store about 10:17 p.m. discovered Singh and called emergency services. Responding officers determined Singh had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and investigators concluded robbery was the motive.

Perpetrators took cash and also stole the store’s surveillance system recorder, depriving investigators of potentially crucial footage. The Brandon Police Department, with assistance from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, handled the case, but despite appeals to the public no arrests or suspects have been publicly identified and the investigation has gone cold.

Anyone with information about the robbery or the people involved is asked to come forward.
