January 23, 1965, Jessie Brown, the African-American victim, was shot and killed by his employer, Reese Marion Gipson, the subject, in Gipson’s home in Winona, Mississippi. The subject told a Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office (MCSO) deputy that the victim had become intoxicated and attacked the subject with an ice pick, whereupon the subject shot him in self-defense. The victim sustained a fatal shotgun wound to the stomach. Gipson was arrested for shooting the victim and the incident was investigated by a local district attorney. No charges were ever presented to the local grand jury.
