Carl Tyrone Fair Jr., a 25-year-old Black man from Laurel, Mississippi, was shot and killed on September 3, 2017, at the West Hill Apartments on West 10th Street. Police responded after a woman reported her ex-boyfriend trying to force his way into her apartment and found Fair on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds; he was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators identified and arrested 22-year-old Justin Glenn of Laurel. Fair had been the current boyfriend of Glenn’s ex-girlfriend, and the shooting appears to have arisen from that domestic dispute. Glenn was initially charged with Burglary to an Occupied Dwelling and Capital Murder; later developments in the case included a plea to second-degree murder and a 30-year sentence with five years post-release supervision. The judge noted officers had earlier told Glenn to leave during a prior response that evening, and body-cam footage showed he returned shortly before the fatal encounter.

Did anyone in Laurel see or hear anything that night at West Hill Apartments that could shed more light on what happened?
