Timothy Thomas was a 29-year-old Jackson man who was shot multiple times outside a multi-unit building at 397 Valley Street on December 2, 2016. Police characterized the incident as a robbery attempt; emergency responders took Thomas to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he later died of his wounds.

Investigators identified 18-year-old Martin Woodard as the person who confronted Thomas during the robbery and opened fire. Crime alerts named Woodard as wanted for capital murder, and he was later located in Atlanta, Georgia, taken into custody and extradited to Mississippi. He was prosecuted in Hinds County; public corrections records show the case resolved with a conviction for second-degree murder and a 30-year prison term, with a tentative release date in August 2047. The records name only Woodard as the assailant and do not indicate additional charged suspects.
