Biloxi Mike Murdered!!!!

Okay. I checked out the domain names, and both of these are available.

WHICH do you think would be best? Wait. You know what, I'm going to create a poll thread, and we'll take a vote. The more people involved, the better anyway. :)
 
Well, AMW just woke up a sleeping lion -- or lioness, in my case. Now I'm really going to bombard them with written material. My printer prints 28 to 30 pages per minute, and I can bang out pages at 150-plus words per minute.

They won't know what hit them. I will have every single member in my family sign a letter. I have to get two jobs out today that came in late last night, requiring me to be here. However, after that I am devoting my entire evening to this mission.

Also, I have a free website domain available to me, which I was saving for Keith down the road. However, this is more important. I just might create one for this cause if we don't get any movement from here on in. I am no website designer, but I can sure as heck upload pictures and follow the templates.

AMW, here I come. Oh, Nancy Grace might be another good vehicle to get the word out. I'm not letting this case go cold.

I'm not trying to tell the police how to do their job but I have to wonder if they have asked for video from the other sources/locations where the person of interest has been seen.

It would be great if they provided additional pictures of the person of interest, showing different profiles of him. I have to imagine that they have different pictures of the person of interest and don't see how sharing those pictures would hurt their investigation.

In addition, since they cannot locate the person of interest, is there any other information that they can provide us with that we might be able to help.

I spoke with one of Mike's close friends earlier today. I wanted him to come on here and tell what he knows. I will tell you what he told me. Mike was playing at the pool room and this guy (and a friend) were sweating it. Mike was playing for money and flashed a bankroll. After he was finished playing these two guys struck up a conversation with Mike. They wanted to know all about the local casinos and Mike was an expert.
The one guy, who went by the name Jericho, went with Mike to his house so Mike could drop off his cues. Then they were going to go to a casino together. Mike was just being a good guy, helping them out. It seems that the moment Mike opened the back door to go in the guy whacked him in the back of the head, and robbed him. He then took Mike's car back to the poolroom and jumped in his truck (a black Ford F-250) with his buddy, and they high tailed it out of there.
They got a days head start before people realized something was wrong, with Mike's car still in the parking lot. They went to his house and saw him laying on the floor near the back door. Jericho is described as about 40 years old, 6' tall with a pony tail. He is clean cut with a little paunch on him.
Let's all help the police find this guy! He's out there somewhere, maybe in a casino or a poolroom. If I find out any more I'll let you all know. As far as I'm concerned this takes priority over everything else on here.
Where is the witness who saw this happen and then told the guy who told you?
So far, all you've submitted here is unsubstantiated hearsay.
Are the police in search of this witness? That seems like a pretty good place to start?
Why would a seasoned pool player who's been around for a while, and flashed a pocket full of cash,..take up with a stranger and allow the stranger to go to his home with him?
Something is awry. Just my opinion.

It is an oddity why a seasoned and street-smart player like Mike would have agreed to leave with this guy. He was preying on Mike at the pool room the entire time. He saw Mike gambling with two other "regulars." Mike always carried a lot of cash with him, and it is thought that this creep saw Mike whip out his cash to pay another player during the game.

The two players who were playing with Mike when this happened, one of them is a veteran member of this forum and saw the perpetrator close up. He knows *exactly* what this guy looks like.

Unfortunately, Ocean Springs Police Department doesn't have the resources to investigate a murder like this. If it happened elsewhere, say Miami, NYC, D.C., Chicago, there may have been more resources available to pursue this creep. I am not saying anything bad about Ocean Springs Police Department, but it's just the truth. They don't have the resources that a big city would.

The info has been on America's Most Wanted TV show and website. Still, nobody seems to have recognized the murderer. It's hard to believe.

I hope everybody who is a FB member shares the FB page that Big Truck created called "Catch a Killer." This guy is out there, alive and well, while he snuffed out Mike's life as if it meant nothing. :(

Ray, Thank you for your effort to put a spotlight on this murderer who has not yet been caught.

Everyone, please look at this video several times to see if you might recognize this murderer. He needs to be brought to Justice.
 
Wow, I was there when Mike made his deep run in the DCC 1P event. I took an immediate liking to him for his quiet nature & the fact that he was competing in the big leagues...to the dismay of many of the witnesses.

Rest in peace, Mike.

I was there too-filmed him for "Raising the Hustler"
I had no idea...
Terrible!
R.I.P. Mike.

Justice for you!
 
Reward!!!

***UPDATE - We have a solid lead and may soon know the true identity of the man shown in this poster. 11-24-2015

Any more details, sir?
Have the police been notified?

There is more information that I will post tomorrow or as soon a Captain Jackson says it's ok to release.

Stand by please. I will say that it's the best lead since the case was opened. We are all very excited and can't wait for tomorrow.

Bitter Sweet

Here is the latest updates that we can share:

We have someone who is certain that the man in the security video IS their family member. Everything fits. The relative is a career criminal and about the right age. This means we now have a name. They also shared a mugshot of their family member. It does appear to be him. The problem we have is the mugshot is from 1999 and the family hasn't seen or heard from him in over 8 yrs!

We had another member of the Facebook group, Catch a Killer, that ran the name through the NCIC system. We got a hit!! The man is incarcerated but WAS not at the time of murder! The problem was the photo attached to that name. The family member does not think this one is him.

Several things could be going on here. 1. They system could have the incorrect photo attached. 2. The man's appearance could be different due to Meth. (what he was arrested for. 3. It could be the wrong person with same name.

Captain Jackson with the Ocean Springs PD is looking into all possibilities. In the meantime we should stay vigilant. Keep spreading the poster. Keep looking out for possible matches.

The good news is we still have someone who is certain that the perp is their family member and even if the person who came up on the NCIC isn't the guy, we can continue efforts to locate the person's family member.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone,

Ray

I hope that this guy is locked up as we speak, I'm thrilled to hear the great news today.
I think if the pics do not match it might be because he alter his appearance in ways and as posted before, the drugs could of altered his image with heavy use/abuse.

Great work team AZB'




Happy thanks giving.
