In the early morning hours of January 18, 2018, the quiet of Moss Point, Mississippi, was broken by the discovery of a young man's lifeless body. Kellie R. Guy, a 24-year-old Black male from the local community, was found slumped in his car in the 6600 block of Orange Grove Road. He had been fatally shot, and the case was immediately classified as a homicide by the Moss Point Police Department.
Authorities arriving at the scene found Guy unresponsive. The initial investigation suggested that this was an isolated incident, though the circumstances surrounding his death were not immediately clear. Police Chief Calvin Hutchins confirmed the identity of the victim and appealed to the public for any information that could lead to a break in the case. The investigation was launched with law enforcement seeking to piece together the events that led to the tragic end of a young life.
Despite the initial efforts of the Moss Point Police Department, the case of Kellie R. Guy's murder grew cold. No suspects were publicly identified, and no arrests were made in the days, weeks, and months that followed. The investigation remains open, and Guy's death is now listed as a cold case with the Mississippi Coast Crime Stoppers. The appeal for information from the community continues in the hope that new leads will emerge and bring closure to a case that has remained unsolved for years. Anyone with information is still encouraged to contact the Moss Point Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
