Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I kii tetahi kaitiaki o Mississippi i te Paraire kaore te tangata pango i kitea e whakairihia ana ki te rakau i te ahua kaore i eke ki tetahi mea i mua i tona matenga, a, i kitea ia i runga i te kaamera e wehe ana i te casino. Kua whakapumautia te tuakiri o te tangata ko Otis Byrd, he 54-tau te pakeke, he tangata i whiua i mua, e noho ana i te 200 maero noa atu i te rakau, a, i kiia e tona whanau kua ngaro ia tata ki te rua wiki ki muri. Ko te Kaitiaki o Claiborne County a Marvin Lucas Sr., e mohio ana ki a Byrd i a ia e tirotiro ana ki te tari o te kaitiaki hei tikanga mo tana whakapae i te tau 2006 i muri i tana mahi 26 tau i te whare herehere mo te kohuru o te wahine i te wa o te pahua i te tau 1980, i whakapumautia ano hoki tona tuakiri i te timatanga o tenei wiki. Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. He aha te mea i tupu? I kitea a Otis James Byrd, 54 (i runga ake nei), e whakairi ana i te rakau i Mississippi i muri i tana ripoata i te 2 o Maehe. Kei te whakareri nga apiha o te Kaunihera o Claiborne ki te wehe atu i tetahi kaainga i Port Gibson, Miss., kei reira nga mana whakahaere e tirotiro ana i te matenga o Byrd i te whakairi. E ai ki a Lucas i kitea te tinana i te Rāhoroi e whakairihia ana e te papa moenga i runga i te rākau e tata ana ki te 12 waewae te teitei, ā, e rua waewae te teitei o te waewae o te tangata i runga i te whenua. Kāore i herea ngā ringa o te tinana, e ai ki a ia. Ko nga hua o te whakamomori a te Mississippi Crime Lab ki te whakatau mehemea he kohuru te mate, he whakamomori ranei, ka roa pea nga ra, e ai ki a Lucas. Kei te tirotirohia te whakaekenga e te FBI, te Tari Tika Tangata o te Tari Ture me te tari o te United States Attorney tae atu ki te Tari Rangahau o Mississippi. Kei reira ngā kāwanatanga ki te whakatau mēnā he hara kino pea, he takahi rānei i te ture ā-rohe, e ai ki te Kaiwhakarite Ture a U.S. Eric Holder i te Paraire. 'Kāore noa iho mātou e mōhio ki ngā meka,' i kī a Holder ki MSNBC. 'Kei a mātau te nui o te noho a te kāwanatanga ki te whakatau he aha ngā meka.' I kii te Tumuaki Pirihimana o Vicksburg a Walter Armstrong i te Paraire i muri i te tono a nga mana o te rohe ki tana tari ki te tirotiro i tetahi ripoata kua tae mai a Byrd ki te casino, i kitea te riipene ataata e whakaatu ana i a Byrd i te Casino Riverwalk i te Poutu-te-rangi 2.

Ko te tinana o te tangata Āwherika-Ā-Māori i kitea e whakairihia ana ki te rākau i Port Gibson, Mississippi, i te ata o te Rāhoroi kua whakapumautia ko Otis Byrd. He ōrite te matenga ki te whakawātea, ā, i pirau tōna tinana mō te wā roa e ai ki ngā mana. E kī ana ngā mana kāore anō kia tino mōhio mēnā he kohuru, he whakamomori rānei te mate, ā, ka mōhio rātou hei te wiki e haere ake nei. Kua pūrongotia e tētahi rangatira e whakapono ana ia ka whakamātauria te mate hei whakamomori i runga i ngā kitenga tuatahi. Ko te wā whakamutunga i kitea ai a Byrd i runga i te kāmera e wehe ana i tētahi hōtera i Vicksburg, Mississippi e 50 māero ki te raki. I noho ia ki te whare herehere mō ngā tau 25 mō te kohuru o Lucille Trim, he wahine mā, e whā ngā wā i patua ai e ia i te wā o tētahi rēhi patu.
