Damos Daniels, 37, was fatally shot on April 11, 2016, in a gravel lot at an abandoned oil well on North Williamsburg Road in Basefield, Mississippi. He was pronounced dead at the scene from gunshot wounds to the head and upper shoulder. His wife, Megan, was with him and suffered critical injuries; their two children were in the vehicle and were not physically harmed.

The investigation produced arrests. Antonio Sims of Jefferson Davis County was taken into custody and charged with murder and attempted murder. A second suspect, Jaylen Thomas, later surrendered and faced the same charges. Law enforcement agencies involved included the Jefferson Davis County Sheriff’s Department, the Mississippi Highway Patrol, the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, U.S. Marshals, the DEA, and the Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics. Search warrants at two residences on Black Polk Road yielded a large quantity of marijuana, $9,000 in cash, and a stolen firearm.

Daniels had previously been an FBI informant and had stood trial in the 2010 shooting death of Kenroderick Jefferson; his defense argued self-defense and inconsistent witness testimony prevented a murder conviction. Does anyone have information about Daniels, his family, or the events on April 11, 2016?
