On the night of November 29, 2014, 39-year-old Nathaniel Alexander was struck in a drive-by shooting in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. He was taken to Forrest General Hospital but died of his wounds, becoming the city’s twelfth homicide victim that year.

Hattiesburg Police linked the killing to a local street gang and made multiple arrests. Twenty-seven-year-old Brandon McNair was charged with murder and conspiracy to commit street gang activity. Authorities later arrested 22-year-old Jawan Rivera Davis and 21-year-old Geino Jermain Payne, each charged with murder. A fourth suspect, 23-year-old Jamarcus Pettigrew, was initially charged with conspiracy to commit a felony and engaging in criminal street gang activity; his charges were later upgraded to murder.

The arrests closed the initial investigative phase, but legal proceedings will determine the full account of what happened that November night. Does anyone have information about Nathaniel or the shooting that could help clarify the case?
