On the night of October 16 into the early morning of October 17, 2014, 20-year-old Glentez Brown of Jackson, Mississippi, was driving his three-month-old son around the neighborhood trying to soothe the infant after earlier dropping off a cousin. When he returned to his apartment complex, gunfire erupted. Neighbors, including Brown’s wife, went outside and found him lying near a stairwell with multiple gunshot wounds; the infant was found among spent shell casings but was unharmed.

Witness accounts described a man in a gray hoodie and dark jeans walking away from the scene carrying a firearm. Brown’s wife later identified La’Darrian McCray, also known as D.J., in a photographic lineup. Investigators say McCray was at the scene with a weapon shortly after the shots were fired; there were no direct eyewitnesses to the shooting itself.

McCray was tried and convicted of first-degree murder for Brown’s death and attempted aggravated assault for endangering the infant. He received life imprisonment for the murder and an additional twenty years for the aggravated assault, with the sentences to run concurrently; the conviction was affirmed on appeal.

Did anyone in the neighborhood witness anything that night or have information about who was in a gray hoodie near the stairwell?
