Update: MDOC provided his history to JJ:
He was booked in the MDOC system twice, in 1998 for sell of marijuana and possession of marijuana in Madison County. He received three years to serve and 60 months probation each count concurrently. He came back into the system in 2003 for two counts of sell of cocaine, for which he received 10 years each and 5 years probations running concurrent. He was released from probation as of 1/18/2015Original post:
Kendrick Brown was a twice-convicted drug dealer who was facing a third conviction for selling drugs. His indictments and convictions are posted below. He was killed this morning in the parking lot of the Madison County courthouse by William B. Wells. Mr. Wells will have an initial appearance at 10:00 tomorrow morning. It is thought that Wells shot Brown in retaliation for the attempted murder of his mother this weekend when she was shot in Canton.
February 1, 2015: Indicted for sale of cocaine as a habitual offender and subsequent drug offender.
February 7, 2003: Convicted (pleaded guilty) to sale of cocaine.
January 23, 1998: Convicted of sale of marijuana less than one ounce, convicted of crime of possession of marijuana with intent to sell.

Let's hope there's a Kevlar vest on Mr. Wells in the parking lot, just in case Brown's loved ones show up.
It would be hard not to react like Wells did if someone was involved in the attempted murder of my mother as it is alleged Brown was..
But, sigh, let me get this right--this really, really bad "criminal" had a rap sheet that is what?
Having some weed in the 90s?
Doing / and selling coke in the amount that most of us who have friends that 'party' have on any given weekend?
Too bad he doesn't live in Hinds County. If so, he would be free to vote in tomorrow's election for a new DA
@ 3:59 - YOU are what's wrong with our society. Even if we can all agree that "weed" is a relatively harmless drug, the same can NOT be said for cocaine.
Further, it may come as a BIG surprise to you but.....MOST people don't "party" the way you do. MOST of us have more sense.
Regardless of ALL of the above, Weed AND coke are illegal in Mississippi so, YES....he was a criminal. And there is no telling how many families he destroyed by his "harmless" selling of cocaine.
(Idiot. smh.)
I'd vote to acquit; maybe guilty of discharging a firearm in city limits should be the charge.
Stoopid shit shoots man out of anger and gets his own ass sent to prison for forty years. How's that for anger? Glad this didn't happen on Saturday when the venue was crowded with absentee voters, like me.
Meanwhile, Michael Guest shows up in the background like Sharpton at a flag rally.
3.59 here.
@4:30,
No, I am not. Your emotional arguments that lead to us taxpayers paying hundreds of thousands of dollars for a guy who sold weed and did a little bit of coke is the problem.
You could read into the success of decriminalization programs all throughout Europe or read about the actual harm in comparison to so many everyday things of these so called dangerous drugs.
The people who are going to do drugs are going to do them. Let them do it, let's tax it, and then educate people on how to do it as responsible as possible.
Seriously? This white kid in South Carolina was killed over 3.5 grams of weed?
Kingfish can you do a post about this? I would be curious what all of our colorful commenter personalities would have to say about this.
