On the morning of April 1, 2015, 30-year-old Justin Shannon was fatally shot while sitting in a vehicle with his girlfriend on a street in Jackson, Mississippi. The attack followed an altercation the previous night at a local club between Shannon and a man named Robert Manuel; Shannon had fled the club after that fight. The next morning Shannon received angry calls from Robert’s brother, Lorenzo Manuel, who demanded a man to man meeting.

A brown four-door vehicle pulled up alongside Shannon’s car with at least three people inside, including Lorenzo and Robert Manuel. Occupants of that car opened fire, striking Shannon multiple times; he was pronounced dead at the scene. Shannon’s female companion was severely wounded but survived. Lorenzo and Robert Manuel were identified as shooters and arrested; each was charged with murder and aggravated assault. Lorenzo Manuel was convicted of second-degree murder and aggravated assault, and that conviction was later upheld on appeal.

Are there witnesses or additional details from that night that anyone in the Jackson area can share?
