On the evening of October 15, 2014, 62-year-old Bruce Moss was shot fatally outside his Clinton, Mississippi, home. Moss, a retired machine operator who enjoyed fishing, hunting and collecting antiques, was discovered in his yard with a shotgun wound to the chest; the Hinds County coroner later confirmed the wound was fatal.

Investigators determined the house had been targeted in a burglary that night. Moss reportedly confronted intruders inside his home, chased them into the yard, and was struck by a shot fired during that confrontation. Police identified three suspects connected to the incident: Angela Watson, described as Moss’s stepdaughter, her boyfriend Frank Buckley, and an acquaintance, George Carroll.

All three were arrested in the early hours after the shooting and booked into the Clinton jail; prosecutors charged each with capital murder. Did anyone know Moss’s routine or relationships that might explain why his home was targeted?
