Antonio Jackson was 26 and from Lambert, Mississippi, when he was shot multiple times outside the Family Dollar on Martin Luther King Drive in Marks on April 4, 2015. He was taken to a nearby hospital but the county coroner confirmed he did not survive his wounds. Quitman County officials and the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation responded and treated the parking lot as a crime scene.

Authorities said a person of interest was in custody during the initial investigation. Records show Alonzo Buggs Jr. was arrested and booked into the Quitman County jail on a murder charge that same day. Later court filings and a statement from the state identify Buggs Jr. as the defendant; he pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 23 years in prison for shooting and killing Jackson.

An online memorial for Jackson, known to family as Wayne, notes he attended Madison S. Palmer High School and mentions children he left behind. Anyone who knew Antonio Jackson or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
