On the night of January 25, 2015, 24-year-old Jerrell Brown was found dead in the driver’s seat of his running white car in Jackson, Mississippi. The driver’s side door was ajar; Brown had been shot twice in the back from a distant or intermediate range. A passenger was asleep in the car and a holstered gun was on the driver’s side floorboard.

The shooting followed a drug transaction earlier that evening. Brown had bought ecstasy pills and marijuana from Christopher Wise at an acquaintance’s apartment, and after saying he would return because he was unhappy with the pills he had purchased, he was killed later that night.

Christopher Wise was indicted for murder on June 26, 2015. At trial Marcus Ware testified that Wise called him after the shooting and confessed, saying Brown had tried to rob him. Wise claimed self-defense, but the prosecution presented physical evidence that contradicted that account. A jury convicted Wise of manslaughter and he was sentenced to twenty years in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections for Brown’s death.

Did anyone who knew Jerrell or who was in that neighborhood that night see or hear anything that could add to the timeline?
