On October 30, 2013, 29-year-old Eldra Gibson was found shot to death inside his home on Moon Street in Jackson, Mississippi. Two others were killed at the same scene: Gibson’s brother, 25-year-old Sharrod Brown, and Brown’s 22-year-old girlfriend, Ashley Taylor. All three victims had been shot in the forehead with a 9mm handgun in what investigators described as an apparent robbery.

Surveillance footage from Gibson’s residence showed a man identified as Javondus Beasley entering the house empty-handed and leaving shortly afterward carrying a square object and with a noticeable bulge under his coat. Beasley was arrested the day after the bodies were discovered and charged in the killings. After an initial conviction was overturned on appeal because of jury instruction errors, a retrial resulted in convictions: capital murder for Gibson and second-degree murder for Taylor and Brown. In January 2018 Beasley received life without parole for the capital murder and consecutive 40-year terms for the other two murders.

If anyone knew Eldra Gibson, Sharrod Brown, Ashley Taylor or saw activity on Moon Street around late October 2013, please share information that might add detail to the timeline or the victims’ final hours.
