On Jan. 24, 2023, six armed intruders broke into a house in Braxton, Miss. Once inside, they found two Black men, Eddie Terrell Parker and Michael Corey Jenkins. The intruders brandished guns. Someone fired a shot into a wall of the home to intimidate Parker and Jenkins into submission.
The tormentors handcuffed, beat and brutalized the men; volleyed racial slurs like “n–ger,” “monkey” and “boy” toward them; and told Jenkins and Parker to leave Rankin County, to go back to Jackson or “their side of the Pearl River.”
Someone mounted a dildo on the end of a BB gun and forced it into Parker’s mouth. One of the assailants threatened to sodomize the men with the sex toy. He only stopped when he grabbed the back of Jenkins’ pants and realized his victim had defecated himself.
Continuing a series of additional humiliations, the intruders poured milk, chocolate syrup, alcohol and cooking oil over Jenkins’ and Parker’s heads and into their mouths; hurled eggs at them; and forced them to strip naked and shower together.

Jenkins lay bleeding out on the floor while the criminals planned their getaway. Fortunately, he survived.
