Darion Reese, 24, was shot and killed on Sunday afternoon, October 13, 2013, in a grassy area at the intersection of North Monticello Street and Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Brookhaven, Mississippi. The shooting occurred shortly before 1:30 p.m.; Reese was struck once in the chest and was pronounced dead at King’s Daughters Medical Center less than an hour later.

The incident followed an ongoing altercation. Two men, David Jones Jr., 29, and Kevin Collins, 48, drove up to Reese; after a brief verbal exchange a gunfight erupted in which witnesses reported all three men fired weapons. Jones and Collins fled the scene in a silver or gray Grand Am and turned themselves in to the Brookhaven Police Department the next day; both were charged with murder and held in Lincoln County jail without bond. A stray bullet during the exchange struck 39-year-old Kimberly Simon, who was stopped in her car; she was treated at King’s Daughters and then airlifted to a Jackson hospital and released the following day.

Jones later pleaded guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault and was sentenced; Collins was also sentenced for manslaughter and aggravated assault. Did anyone in the Brookhaven area witness the events leading up to the shooting or have information about the altercation that preceded it?
