Kenneth I. Roberson, 52, a Black funeral home director who operated businesses in Pontotoc and Batesville, was found dead inside his Oxford, Mississippi home on Molly Barr Road after family members asked police to check on him. Officers arrived at about 1:35 a.m. on October 24, 2015, and the Mississippi State Medical Examiner’s Office ruled the cause of death a gunshot wound to the head. Investigators treated the case as a homicide and maintained a constant police presence at the cordoned-off residence.

Roberson’s gray 2013 Jeep Cherokee was missing from the home and became a key lead; it was later located in Canton and returned to Oxford for forensic processing. On October 28, 2015, authorities arrested Nathaniel Arnez Huddleston, a former employee, charging him with murder. Huddleston had previously been arrested in July 2015 for setting fire to Roberson’s funeral home in Pontotoc during an apparent attempt to cover up the theft of a safe.

Did anyone in Oxford have contact with Kenneth in the days before October 24 who can add detail to his last known movements?
