A custody exchange at an Exxon on Woodrow Wilson Avenue and Bailey Avenue in Jackson, Mississippi, ended in deadly violence on February 18, 2014. Twenty-two-year-old Black male Kanishka Lacey had arranged to meet his former girlfriend to transfer their two-year-old child. The mother arrived with her current boyfriend, Lincoln Dille (also identified as Lincoln Dille II).

Witnesses and court testimony say Lacey parked to block the other vehicle and a confrontation followed. While an officer on patrol, Officer Lampley, pulled up to the intersection, Dille — seated in the passenger seat — produced a firearm and fired into Lacey’s vehicle. Officer Lampley ordered Dille to drop the weapon and took him into custody at the scene. Lacey suffered fatal gunshot wounds.

Dille was charged with first-degree murder; his defense asserted he acted in self-defense and cited prior threats. The case went to trial, resulting in a conviction for first-degree murder and a life sentence. Did anyone in Jackson know Kanishka or see him that day who could add details about what happened at the station?
