On a September evening in 2015, Jonathan Daniels, 30, of Jackson was shot and killed at an Exxon on Highway 82 in Greenville. He had been lured to the gas station under the pretense of selling a large quantity of marijuana. During the meeting a single shot struck Daniels in the torso; he ran to a nearby Captain D’s restaurant where he collapsed and was later pronounced dead at Delta Regional Medical Center.

Investigators determined the meeting had been arranged as a robbery. Authorities say Merick Cleveland shot Daniels, stole the drugs and fled. Cell phone records and witness statements were used to reconstruct the events. Multiple people were arrested; five suspects were charged with capital murder, and Howard Williams was taken into custody by U.S. Marshals on September 18, 2015.

In January 2019 Merick Cleveland pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and trafficking marijuana and was sentenced to 25 years in prison. Several other defendants had been sentenced for their roles. Does anyone have additional information about Daniels or about witnesses who were at the gas station that night?
