Dammian Dorsey Trunnell, 26, was shot and killed late the night of April 22, 2015, while sitting in a silver Ford Expedition parked near the 800 block of Berwood Drive in Jackson, Mississippi. A bullet struck the back of his head; neighbors tried to pull him from the vehicle and rush him to help, but he did not survive. Surveillance footage showed a man later identified as Robert Decatur arrive, stop his car a few feet behind the Expedition, step out and fire multiple shots toward the SUV. Investigators recovered shell casings and bullets around and inside the Expedition and found a Glock 9mm and ammunition in Decatur’s vehicle; no weapon was found near Trunnell or the other men at the scene.

Court filings describe a feud over two missing pit bulls as the lead-up to the shooting. Decatur told investigators he fired because he feared for his safety and believed others were armed; witnesses and video showed he was the only person to fire and that little time elapsed between his arrival and the first shots. A Hinds County jury convicted Decatur of second-degree murder and imposed a multi-decade sentence.

Did anyone who lived near Berwood Drive in April 2015 see these vehicles or the confrontation that night?
