Grand Jury Indicts White Men Accused Of Firing At Black FedEx Driver In Mississippi

A grand jury has indicted a white father and son who allegedly chased down a Black FedEX driver and shot at him after he dropped a package at a house in Brookhaven, Mississippi earlier this year. The Lincoln County grand jury brought multiple charges against Gregory Case and his son Brandon after they allegedly targeted D’Monterrio Gibson on Jan. 24.

The charges include attempted murder, conspiracy to commit the crime of murder and shooting into a motor vehicle, NBC News reports.

Gibson, who previously spoke to NBC News, said he was wearing a FedEx uniform when he dropped off the package, but he believes the men chased him because he is Black and because they thought he didn’t belong in their neighborhood.

As Blavity previously reported, the driver also said he was not in a FedEx truck at the time, but he was driving a Hertz van that FedEx had rented. Gibson said he was leaving the neighborhood when he noticed a man in a white pickup truck following him closely and honking his horn.
