‘Still Held a Grudge’: White Texas Teen Who Waited Three Months To Kill Black Man After Being Slapped for Calling Him a Racial Slur Learns His Fate
Story by Atlanta Black Star News • 17h

A 21-year-old Texas man will spend the next 40 years in prison for murdering a Black man five years ago in a racially charged dispute that escalated into a deadly shooting.

Madison Meazell Simmons was arrested in February 2021 when he was 17, three months after he gunned down 40-year-old Melvin Ray Rogers Jr. in Nacogdoches, Texas.

The murder took place on Dec. 21, 2020. Police responded to Rogers’ home after they heard gunshots in the area, according to KTRE.

When they arrived, they found Rogers unresponsive in his home garage. He had been shot multiple times.

While on scene, investigators collected several spent shell casings from a 5.56 mm rifle.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

A verdict today, for a crime that occurred in December 2020?

Do the wheels of justice regularly turn that slowly in Texas...?
