A trial is set to begin Tuesday for two white men in Mississippi who are accused of chasing and shooting at a Black FedEx driver who had dropped off a package at a home.

Brandon Case and his father, Gregory Charles Case, were indicted in November on charges of attempted first-degree murder, conspiracy and shooting into the vehicle of D’Monterrio Gibson in January 2022.

Gibson, who was 24 at the time, was not injured. But the chase and gunfire led to complaints on social media of racism in Brookhaven, about 55 miles (90 kilometers) south of the state capital, Jackson. The trial will take place in Brookhaven.

During a news conference days after the confrontation, Gibson said he was wearing a FedEx uniform and driving an unmarked van FedEx had rented when he dropped off a package at a house. He said that as he was leaving, he noticed a white pickup truck pulling away from another house on the same large lot.

Gibson said the pickup driver tried to cut him off as he left the driveway. He said he swerved around the driver and then encountered a second man who had a gun pointed at the van and was motioning for him to stop. Gibson said the man fired as he drove away, damaging the van and packages inside. The white pickup chased him to Interstate 55 near Brookhaven before ending the pursuit, he said.

Carlos Moore, an attorney who represented Gibson in a lawsuit in federal court, compared the episode to the killing of Ahmaud Arbery, a 25-year-old Black man who was running empty-handed through a Georgia subdivision in 2020 when three white strangers chased him down and blasted him with a shotgun.

On Thursday, U.S. District Judge Daniel P. Jordan III dismissed the $5 million lawsuit Moore filed on behalf of Gibson in January 2023. The suit was against FedEx, the city of Brookhaven, Brookhaven Police Chief Kenny Collins, Brandon Case and Gregory Charles Case.

Jordan wrote that Gibson’s attorney failed to prove FedEx discriminated against Gibson because of his race.

"The Cases’ alleged conduct is deplorable," Jordan wrote. "But Gibson fails to state a viable claim against FedEx for which the Court would have original jurisdiction."

Moore said Friday that he plans to sue in state court. He also said Gibson is still employed by FedEx and is out on workers' compensation leave.

President Joe Biden is receiving a mix of criticism and praise after he announced on X, formerly known as Twitter, that he was moving ahead with his student loan debt forgiveness plan Monday. 

A federal judge in Michigan recently dismissed a challenge against Biden's student loan debt forgiveness plan from a legal group, the New Civil Liberties Alliance, for lacking standing, per Axios. Biden followed up that dismissal by touting his decision to push ahead with student loan forgiveness anyway, claiming that he would find another path to student loan removal. 

"For years, student loan borrowers haven't received forgiveness under their Income-Driven Repayment plans despite making payments for over 20 years," he wrote. "I'm determined to fix it. Today, thanks to my Administration's actions, 804,000 borrowers will start to see their debt cancelled."

"As I announced in the wake of the Supreme Court’s decision on our student debt relief plan, we will continue to pursue an alternative path to deliver student debt relief to as many borrowers as possible as quickly as possible," Biden said. 

Investors, political groups and commentators battled over Biden’s announcement, with some praising the President for the policy while others rejected it as unfair. 

"Including students who took loans to pursue majors that don’t pay off?" venture capitalist Vinod Khosla wrote in response to Biden’s post. "Where does personal responsibility come in?"

Symboticware CEO Ash Agarwal claimed that Biden’s announcement came "[j]ust in time" because "[l]oan payments would have been resumed in September, and many families would have to choose between a meal and a payment. Good for them."

Pro-Bernie Sanders group "People for Bernie" told Biden that he "should cancel it all," referring to student loan debt.

Investor Santosh Sankar wrote that Biden’s forgiveness of student loans was the start of a dangerous path in American politics. 

"Slippery slope," he wrote. 

The Supreme Court initially ruled Biden’s student loan debt forgiveness plan as unconstitutional, with Chief Justice John Roberts citing then-Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi from 2021 in his argument that the president doesn't have the power to cancel federal student loan debt.

"‘People think that the President of the United States has the power for debt forgiveness. He does not,’" Roberts quoted from Pelosi’s July 28, 2021, press conference. "‘He can postpone. He can delay. But he does not have that power. That has to be an act of Congress.’"

"We’re not backing down," Biden also wrote Monday. 

The Department of Education did not respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
