Text: ¶2. In the early morning hours of May 29, 2004, Jeremy Scott was shot four times in the head in the Meridian home of relatives. A 911 call was placed around 2:49 a.m., to which the Meridian Police Department (“MPD”) responded shortly thereafter. Scott died from the gunshot wounds to the head. ¶3. Assigned to investigate the murder one year after it occurred, Detective Andy Havard, MPD criminal investigator, learned from Scott’s mother that Scott had purchased a cell phone about two weeks before he was murdered. The detectives subpoenaed the cell phone records for calls made from Scott’s phone from 2:45 a.m. on May 29, 2004, through the next three days. Because the phone was used post-mortem, the detectives concluded that persons in the house during or after Scott’s death took his phone. Through investigation related to the phone records, the detectives determined that Anthony Evans, Lewis Thomas Green, and Gregory Smith were suspects.
