Adrian D. Eley (also recorded as Elly) was fatally shot just after midnight on June 9, 2015, outside the Palmetto Estates Apartments on Highway 42 in Jefferson Davis County, Mississippi. Tension had been building for days around Eley’s long-term relationship with Konswaylo Durr and rumors she was involved with Eric Darrell Hubcap Lott. A few nights earlier the three had a confrontation at a gas station where Durr fired at Eley’s vehicle, and the night before the killing Durr ordered Eley out of their home after learning he was expecting a child with another woman.\n\nWitnesses and Durr testified that Eley approached Durr’s car at the apartments, argued, and then ran as Lott fired multiple shots.

Lott told investigators Eley had threatened and shoved him, that he panicked and reached for a gun on his driver’s seat, and that he shot in self-defense. Medical testimony described multiple entrance wounds consistent with shots entering from behind or the side as Eley moved away. A bystander was wounded in the leg; Eley was taken to hospital and later died.\n\nThe shooting prompted murder and aggravated assault charges against Lott and a grand jury indictment.

Does anyone have information about the events that night or about Eley, Durr, or Lott’s interactions in the days beforehand?
