The Sheriff’s Department in Lamar County Mississippi is pursuing murder suspect Omora “Big Moe” Gibson who is believed to be in Minnesota.  Gibson is wanted in connection with the July 14th, 2010 shooting death of Wayne Kennedy Davis of Hattiesburg and the wounding of another at the same apartment complex. Gibson should be considered armed and dangerous.  He is described as a 31 year old black male, 6’ 1” tall weighing 250 lbs with tattoos on both arms.

Gibson is believed to have fled Mississippi after the murder and went to Chicago, Illinois where he spent time in the Caprini Green area of the city. Gibson has lived in that area in the past, and has possible ties with the Four Corner Hustlers gang.  It is possible that he is now in the Twin Cities area.

Crime Stoppers Chapters in Chicago, Minnesota, Memphis and Mississippi are joining in the search as the suspect could possibly be in any of these areas of the country.
