Randy Ameer Johnson was 41 when he was killed after a confrontation at the Golden Nugget casino in Biloxi on the night of September 18, 2021. Johnson, a well-known Gulfport barber and father of three, had been celebrating a friend’s birthday and was reportedly approached at a casino bar by Jereme Lamond Jones, a 30-year-old former college wide receiver from Mobile. According to testimony, Jones took offense at the way Johnson was looking at him and invited him outside; the men went to the parking garage and a fight began.

Surveillance footage shown at trial captured Johnson throwing the first two punches, then fleeing back into the casino when a gun and holster fell from Jones’s waistband. Video shows Jones chasing Johnson across the gaming floor, where Johnson tripped, fell, and was shot ten times at close range while on the ground with his hands in the air; Jones then kicked him before leaving. Police found Johnson with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. Jones was arrested nearby shortly after, charged with first-degree murder, and a jury found him guilty.

Did anyone in the Biloxi or Gulfport area recognize either man from that night or have additional information about the events leading up to the shooting?
