Willie J. Gilson III, a 52-year-old Black man from Indianola, Mississippi, was murdered in the driveway of his home on December 18, 2015. The killing occurred in front of his 6-year-old grandson and investigators say the apparent motive was a failed robbery attempt.

Four people were arrested and charged with capital murder in connection with Gilson’s death: Virlandrius Gibson, Garrick Price, Alexandria Jennings, and Lucas Edwards. Alexandria Jennings was a teenager at the time of the crime; her sentencing was tied to the outcomes of other proceedings.

The case has involved years of legal activity and has been emotionally wrenching for the family. Gilson’s widow keeps his memory alive by lighting a candle for him every day.

Did anyone in Indianola know Willie or see anything on December 18, 2015 that could help the investigation?
