A white father and son from Mississippi who allegedly chased and shot at a black FedEx driver while he was delivering packages in January had their charges upgraded on Friday.
while he was delivering packages in January have been hit with new charges.
Both men were only charged with conspiracy and aggravated assault in the case, sparking accusations of racism throughout the city of Brookhaven, located 55 miles south of Jackson.“It was an extremely long process to get this far into the case,” Gibson told WLBT-TV. “I feel like most of the time, I was treated like a suspect rather than a victim.”
The truck, being driven by Gregory Case, then began honking and driving more aggressively behind him. Gibson’s attorney, Carlos Moore, compared the incident to the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, the 25-year-old black man who was running through a Georgia suburb in 2020 when three white men chased him down and fatally shot him.
