Nicholas Darnell Pittman, 36, was shot and killed on July 24, 2021, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi, while attempting to pick up his 11-year-old child at a residence on Theriot Avenue. An argument between Pittman and the child’s mother escalated, and the mother’s boyfriend, Christopher Jerome Brown, emerged from the house with a gun. Pittman was struck three times — twice in the chest and once in the back — in front of his son, who witnessed the shooting.

Brown fled the scene after the shooting and later turned himself in. He was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and possession of a weapon by a convicted felon. The victim’s young son provided eyewitness testimony at trial that he had seen his father killed.

Does anyone have information about what led to the argument that night or recall details from the neighborhood around Theriot Avenue on July 24, 2021?
