Men indicted for shooting at Mississippi delivery driver

November 23, 2022

BROOKHAVEN, Miss. (AP) — A father and son have been indicted by a grand jury after allegedly chasing and shooting at a FedEx driver in January after he dropped off a package in a Mississippi city.

Brandon and Gregory Case, who are both white, were re-arrested Friday and indicted for attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy and shooting into the vehicle of D’Monterrio Gibson, who is Black. The charges were upgraded from conspiracy and aggravated assault.

Gibson, 24, was not injured. But the chase and gunfire have sparked social media complaints of racism in Brookhaven, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of the state capital, Jackson.

Gibson and his attorney, Carlos Moore, said they pushed prosecutors to secure an indictment for nearly 10 months.

1. Alright

2. It took 11 months for an indictment?

I remember seeing this on YouTube right after it happened and I was sure there'd be a quick resolution to this (IIRC FedEx showed exactly as much sympathy toward Mr Gibson as you'd expect one of the worst corporations to exhibit). Astonishing that it took this long.

3. This was Mi'ssippi. It was a small miracle he was indicted at all.

Normally, such people are given plum jobs for their "trouble."

He might still.
