Carlos Yancey was 35 when he was shot in the parking lot of the Green Tree Apartments on North 38th Avenue in Hattiesburg on the evening of August 22, 2014. First responders transported him to a local hospital, but he died of his gunshot wound.

The Hattiesburg Police Department treated the case as the city’s fifth homicide that year and identified a person of interest quickly. Marcus Antione Brown, 34, of Hattiesburg was arrested the next day and charged with Yancey’s murder. A Forrest County grand jury later indicted Brown, and his trial resulted in a guilty verdict. In April 2015 Brown received a life sentence for the killing.

What details about that night or the dispute between Yancey and Brown are still unclear to readers who remember the area or the people involved?
