Deputies report they are investigating the possibility of contraband being a factor in the man’s death.
Simpson was sentenced to life in prison for the 2018 killing of Wayde Sims on Thursday, July 7, just months after a jury found him guilty of second-degree murder.
Video captured at the scene of the shooting showed a brawl involving several people. Dyteon was seen armed with a gun and firing towards Sims.
Sims later died from the gunshot injury.
