Hattiesburg man pleads guilty to manslaughter and aggravated assault
LAMAR COUNTY, MS (WDAM)- A Hattiesburg man was sentenced to two 20-year prison terms after he pleaded guilty in circuit court in Lamar County Friday morning.
Thirty-one-year old Omora Gibson was charged with murder in the July 2010 shooting death of 26-year-old Wayne Kennedy Davis and the wounding of a unidentified 24-year-old-man. The shooting took place at an apartment complex off Weathersby Road in the County near the Hattiesburg City line.
