On the morning of April 2, 2015, 29-year-old Anthony Stevenson, a Black/African American man, was shot outside Club Deuce 2 on North State Street in Clarksdale, Mississippi and later died at a local hospital. Another man, 32-year-old J.C. Miller, was also killed in the same incident and was found in the club’s parking lot.

Police identified Anthony Edtrel Giles as a suspect after witnesses placed him at the scene. Giles was taken into custody on April 15, 2015, and during interrogation admitted to shooting both Stevenson and Miller after a verbal argument escalated into a physical altercation. His case experienced multiple court delays due to an overcrowded docket before going to trial.

A Coahoma County Circuit Court jury found Giles guilty on two counts of first-degree murder on January 29, 2019. Circuit Court Judge Albert Smith sentenced Giles to two consecutive life terms in Mississippi Department of Corrections custody. Does anyone have memories of Club Deuce 2 or information about that night that could add detail to the timeline?
