14:19Now PlayingThe Mississippi Black FedEx delivery driver who says two white men shot at and chased him has been fired from his job.
According to D'Monterrio Gibson's attorney, Carlos Moore, his client was fired by FedEx because he did not accept a part-time, non-courier job the company offered in mid-July.
Gibson provided RMU with a copy of the email informing Gibson of his termination:
"Your employment with FedEx was terminated effective 7/26/23. Attempts have been made to deliver your letter and accompanying documents on 7/31/23 and delivery will be reattempted today. In order to make r sure you have received this communication I have attached a copy to the mail. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. "
Moore released this statement:
"FedEx has shown its true colors. It has never cared about my client's black life. How could any employer be so insensitive and tone deaf and fire a dedicated employee after he almost lost his life working for the company? I look forward to holding FedEx accountable in a court of law for intentional infliction of emotional distress for sending Mr. Gibson back to the same, very dangerous route the very next day after the attack by the Cases."
Thursday, Judge David Strong declared a mistrial against the father and son, Brandon Case and Gregory Charles Case, because of errors by a Brookhaven Police Department Detective Vincent Fernando, who admitted under oath he did not give prosecutors or defense attorneys a videotaped statement police had taken from the victim, D'Monterrio Gibson.
The Cases' are charged with attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy, and shooting into Gibson's vehicle while making deliveries.
Luckily, Gibson was not physically harmed in the incident.
