Bobby Ray Armstrong, 55, was found shot multiple times in the back and pronounced dead shortly before midnight on September 9, 2014, in the 600 block of 33rd Avenue in Meridian, Mississippi. Deaf and mute, Armstrong was described by neighbors as a well-known, beloved member of the downtown community who did yard work and cleaned houses for people in the area. Family members and friends called him Baba and remembered him as loving and compassionate; more than 100 people attended a candlelight vigil in Dumont Plaza the week after his death.

The Meridian Police Department investigated and arrested 20-year-old Jacoby Dixon of Meridian, who was charged with murder and held without bond. Omeika Brown was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact. Authorities did not immediately release a motive and the case was to be presented to a grand jury.

Did anyone in the Meridian community have contact with Bobby Ray Armstrong in the days before September 9 who can share what he was doing or whom he knew?
