JPD issued the following press release:
On Tuesday, June 28, 2016 at approx. 5:46 PM, Jackson Police Officers responded to UMMC
regarding a shooting. Upon officers’ arrival, they made contact with the victim, identified as
Tajuana Denson, 39. She had been shot once in the chest and once in the arm. She was
transported to UMMC via private vehicle, treated and is listed in critical condition at this time.
During the course of the investigation, it was learned that this incident occurred at 6739
Presidential Dr. There was an argument and physical altercation between several females,
children and adults, ages ranging from 13-39. During this incident an unidentified 13 year old
black male subject that resides at the location, and not believed to be involved in the initial
altercation, retrieved a handgun and fired several shots. Subsequently, the victim was shot.
Other individuals that reside at the location and are relatives of the 13 year old were allegedly assaulted
with objects and sustained minor injuries. The party that was involved in the altercation with the
victim also sustained minor injuries. The motive for this incident is unclear at this time. It can be
confirmed that the victim does not reside at the location, and there are preliminary findings that
she was involved in the altercation.
The 13 year old subject was detained on scene and transported for questioning in this matter. The weapon allegedly used in this incident was also recovered in close proximity to the scene. The 13 year old subject was later released after questioning. His name is not being disclosed at this time due to him not being charged and his juvenile status. No arrest(s) have been made at this time stemming from this incident.
This investigation is ongoing and the outcome will be forwarded to the Hinds County Grand Jury to be presented.
Kingfish note: It is not known if a video of the incident appeared on Worldstar.

The victim, who was shot in the chest and arm 'was involved in the altercation'. No shit.
Catch & Release, juvenile episode.
I thought Uncle Sugar paid the cell phone bills. Nothing to see here, folks.
Obama's America. Disgusting. This is EVERY day in Jackson. More black-on-black crime. Where is Yarber and Stokes on this issue?
YOU IN JACKTOWN, BABAY BOY!
MORTGAGE FREE SINCE 2014!
Hey Kingfish, you missed a new story about a woman being assaulted by a Black male with a flashlight in her home on Adkins Boulevard off of Ridgewood yesterday morning! Truly disturbing ...
This is a much different account than what was reported via the TV news outlets. I wonder why?
Sure glad crime is down in Jackson. Getting safer every day.
He was standing his ground?!
Sorry folks - based on the above JPD report and not knowing any more (same as you) I fall in line with the 13 year old. If he resided there, was not involved in the altercation, and then tried to get the crap off his property - I don't see this as a 'catch and release'. I think he did what I would want my 13 year old to do at his residence on 'this side of town'. Hate that it took a gun to resolve the problem, but it appears that might have been the necessary action.
Hey Kingfish, are you also going to report on the murder that happened in Richland yesterday evening at 6:00 pm? No? I thought not.
Hey @11:51 AM have you hit the JJ tip jar? No? I knew not.
9:10, 9:25, 11:51 (same poster)
As Rob Jay used to say, "What's wrong widju man"?
Act stupid and smarty at home with mommy and daddy but don't come to this man's domain and act that way.

No youtube video?
You used to be able to say, "What happens in Presidential Hills, STAYS in Presidential Hills".
Hey @ 11:51, there was not murder in Richland yesterday. Get your facts straight .
