On the evening of June 27, 2022, what first looked like a single-vehicle crash at C Avenue and 32nd Street in Gulfport, Mississippi, was revealed to be a homicide. Inside a brown 2000 Buick LeSabre, 30-year-old Anthony Lavern Oatis Jr. was found with a fatal gunshot wound and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators say Oatis and a companion had arranged to meet three people to buy marijuana. The meeting was a setup for a robbery aimed at an iPhone 13 mini and about $2,300 in cash. An argument turned violent and Oatis was shot once in the abdomen; the suspects fled in a white Dodge Challenger, leaving him in the car.

The Gulfport Police Department identified three suspects: Erick Tyrie Hunt of Jackson, Richard Norman III known as Draco of Gulfport, and 15-year-old Eric Jamorian Chopin of Moss Point. Police say Hunt later confessed to firing the shot and officers recovered a firearm from the vehicle he was driving.

Did anyone who knew Anthony or who was in that area on June 27, 2022, see the white Dodge Challenger or the brown LeSabre before the shooting?
