A domestic dispute in Biloxi, Mississippi, on October 11, 2014, ended with the death of 26-year-old Anthony Wheaton. Wheaton suffered multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at Biloxi Regional Hospital after the shooting on Dorries Street. The confrontation began as an argument between Rodise Jenkins and Hazel Turner, Wheaton’s mother; when Wheaton arrived, the argument escalated. Jenkins reportedly retrieved a .357 revolver from his truck and shot Wheaton as he approached the porch, and witnesses said Jenkins fired two additional shots after Wheaton had fallen. Turner testified that Jenkins then told her to call 911.

Law enforcement identified Jenkins as the suspect and apprehended him during a felony traffic stop on Bayview Avenue shortly after the shooting. He was charged with first-degree murder, tried over two days, and convicted; a Harrison County Circuit Court judge sentenced Jenkins to life in prison for Wheaton’s murder.

If anyone knew Anthony, his movements that day, or witnessed the events on Dorries Street, please share information that could help clarify what happened.
