An 18-year-old Black man, Michael Smith Jr., was fatally shot on the evening of April 22, 2015, at the Double Quick convenience store on Highway 82 in Greenville, Mississippi. His death was one of three homicides in the city during a three-day span that spring.

Investigators identified 23-year-old Kadarius Jackson as the primary suspect and a Washington County grand jury indicted Jackson on first-degree murder in November 2015. Procedural problems delayed the case after two mistrials were declared because an insufficient number of jurors reported for service. On July 26, 2016, Jackson pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a 35-year sentence: 28 years to serve, followed by a seven-year suspended sentence and five years of probation. The District Attorney said the resolution brought relief to Smith’s family.

Does anyone who knew Michael or was in Greenville that April have information about the shooting or the days around it?
