On the evening of December 17, 2016, three men were shot to death during an armed robbery at Bill’s Pawn Jewelry Coin/Stamp Exchange in Jackson, Mississippi. Victims were 77-year-old employee Ted McLemore, the shop’s 81-year-old owner Cleveland Bill Mosley, and 60-year-old employee Robert Ivy. The intruders stole numerous items and attempted to destroy the store’s surveillance system.

Investigators identified suspects Joshua Michael Garcia and Jamison Layne Townsend, who fled Mississippi and were arrested days later in Kansas. Authorities recovered stolen merchandise, firearms, and the weapon later tied to the killings in the suspects’ vehicle. Garcia pleaded guilty to the murders and received three consecutive life sentences; Townsend pleaded guilty to being an accessory after the fact and was sentenced to ten years in prison.

If anyone knew McLemore, Mosley, or Ivy, or has information about the robbery and how the suspects targeted the pawn shop, please come forward.
