Forty-two year old Chancey Lee Dansby was found face down on Highway 49 In Newton County Mississippi, the alleged victim of a hit-and-run. His obituary states he was an avid outdoorsman who loved the outdoors; hunting, fishing, and riding 4-wheelers.
According to Chancey's widow, Michelle Kyzar Dansby, she and Chancey were split up at the time, and Chancey was living with a friend and visiting with a woman named Donna and her boyfriend in Lake Mississippi near the Newton County/Scott County line.
Chancey decided to leave Donna's house and go for a ride on his bicycle.
A neighbor, Josh Parks, had been riding on his golf cart earlier, and passed Chancey riding on his bicycle. The next thing he knew, he heard Donna's boyfriend screaming, "Help! Help! He's been hit." Josh ran over and Chancey was laying in the road injured. When Josh got there he said it looked like the side of Chancey's face had been hit with brass knuckles.
"No one heard anything when the accident happened, no tires screeching, nothing.", says Michelle.
911 was called and the first official to the scene was Pete Lingle, a Shift Sargent with the Scott County Sheriff's Office in Forest, Mississippi. Officer Lingle told Michelle that when he arrived Chancey was face down in the road. "I turned him over and and tilted his head back until the paramedics got there or else Chancey would have drowned in his own blood." Chancey was transported to the University Medical Center in Jackson where he later died on August 20, 2022, after his sister, Nicole Dansby Pinter, had to make the hardest decision of her life, and remove him from life support.
Michelle later ran into officer Lingle at a gas station. "He told me there was a video from The Hornets Nest store in Lake, and the hit-and-run vehicle was a red, flatbed truck, but they could not make out the tag number. There was something on the back of the truck, like a jug, but they could not make out what it was.
"I just feel like something else happened to him because the road was straight and you could easily see traffic from both ways, and my kids heard he was beaten and robbed. I think someone hit him with a blunt object. I was told he had stolen and sold his father's tractor and that he had money on him. The Newton County Sheriff's Office has jurisdiction, and I want someone from there to call me, and explain to me what happened and let me see the video or release the video of the truck so I can put my mind at rest."
"We had been married about a year when he got caught with a firearm, and because he was a convicted felon he went back to prison. We were both hooked on drugs, and when he got out he still had a drug problem, and I did not want to go back to that so I had to stay away from him, but I still cared deeply for him because he was with me through some of the darkest times of my life."
"The last time I saw him was a few months before he died, and he and his girlfriend, Lisa, came by my house to see my kids, but he was suppose to bring divorce papers with him, and I made him leave because he did not bring them, and I could not be around him and keep my sobriety."
"I just feel like he was a convicted felon so they don't care about what happened to him, but he was still a human being, and deserves justice. Me and his family deserve justice."
"Although I was still legally his wife, no one in power reached out to me when he died. I was never questioned, called, nothing. I called The Highway Patrol in Meridian, and they gave me a number to call to talk with the investigator's office, but he has never returned my call."
I reached out to the Newton County Sheriff's Office and the Scott County Sheriff's Office, and tried to reach other family members, but have yet to receive a reply on this case. When, and if I do, I will give an update.
