JACKSON, Miss. — A trial will begin Wednesday for two white men charged with attempted murder after allegedly chasing and shooting at a Black FedEx driver last year.
A jury for the trial was chosen on Tuesday after an hours-long of selection process that ended with 12 jurors selected, and two alternates for the case of 25-year-old D’Monterrio Gibson versus Greg Charles Case and Brandon Case, a father and son.
The alleged incident happened Jan. 24, 2022 in the city of Brookhaven, about 50 miles south of Jackson when Gibson was delivering packages while driving Hertz van rented by FedEx.
Gibson delivered a package to an address at a residence belonging to one of the Cases when one of the two men attempted to block Gibson’s truck from leaving by using his own vehicle. Brandon Case allegedly stood in the street with a firearm and allegedly fired multiple shots at Gibson’s vehicle as he drove away. The father and son pursued Gibson’s vehicle to I-55, and case allegedly fired multiple shots into Gibson’s vehicle.
The Cases said they were protecting their property when the incident occurred.
Gibson’s attorney, Carlos Moore, compared the incident to the killing of Ahmaud Arbery in 2020.
Both men turned themselves into authorities on Feb. 1, 2022 and were released on bond the same day.
