In the winter of 2018, a 29-year-old man named Brandon Cooper was killed in Lexington, Mississippi. His life was cut short on Valentine's Day during what authorities described as a robbery that devolved into a fatal act of violence. The incident reportedly stemmed from an altercation involving drugs, which escalated tragically.
The investigation into Cooper's death led law enforcement to identify two individuals as suspects in the crime. Calvin Gibson and his cohort, Dworne Brown, were accused of attempting to rob Brandon Cooper and another man, Grant Genous, Jr. During this botched robbery, gunfire erupted, and Cooper was fatally wounded. The Lexington police, noting that the victim was the son of a local alderman, pursued the case diligently.
Following the investigation, Calvin Gibson was arrested and charged with capital murder. After legal proceedings, a jury found Gibson guilty of the charge. For his role in the killing of Brandon Cooper, he was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Information regarding the legal outcome for the second suspect, Dworne Brown, was not as readily available in the published reports.
