Friends of the slain Jackson
locksmith and decorated marine are planning to offer a
reward leading to any information in the capture of his
killer. This comes just days after Troy Mitchell died
from the gunshot wound he sustained Wednesday while
trying to help a customer.
Saturday many of Mitchell's
friends gathered to announce their quest to find the
person responsible. Even Jackson Mayor Jerry Gist,
Representative Jimmy Eldridge and members of law
enforcement were on hand to offer their support.
Friends of Mitchell said
they have set up the Troy Mitchell fund at Bancorp
South, and you can donate at locations all over West
Tennessee. His friends said they have already raised
$2,000.
According to George A. Smith
and Son's funeral home, Mitchell's funeral is set for
Wednesday, November 4 at 1pm. The services will be at
Englewood Baptist Church in Jackson.
