Jackson Jambalaya

So sad.

No one kicks open a door and starts shooting without pre-thought motives. There is more to this story.

I smell tuna.

Given the history of these things, they should just look down the list of whoever is out on bond. I guess at some point, a criminal has to commit a first crime. But, it would seem the odds are against that.

Heartfelt condolences to the victim's family. I feel so much safer in Mexico, where I spend as much time as possible, than Jackson and its adjacent communities. And, no, I'm not Mexican. I'm a native Mississippian.

Then you are someone who lacks plenty of common sense.

Obviously, this was a personal vendetta! Nothing stolen, nothing missing - so this was a personal matter. It's still stupid that it even happened, but it's not like someone is going to kick in your door and just shoot you for no reason. Albeit, the reason may be crazy - it's still a reason this happened between these two people.

"Perception of crime"

I'm not finding a Barbara Drive in Jackson. There is a Barbara Anne Drive in south Jackson. Is that it, or where are they talking about? Regardless, terrible incident.

Attn 1:09 there is a Barbara Street parallel to Cedars of Lebanon. Look it up on google maps.

107 Barbara Ave. West Jackson not North Jackson

This is Barbara Avenue, a short street off Clinton Blvd. This is very near my childhood home 50+ years ago. Can't go there no mo' -- it ain't safe. All news outlets have it correct -- even the Clarion-Ledger, believe it or not. WLBT has a map if you are interested.

Sounds like somebody sent his lemon pepper chicken wings back one too many times.

Wait...so the guy kicks open the front door, starts shooting, and shoots the victim. The victim then exits the house and dies in the front yard.

So did he ask the shooter to scoot over and let him through as he was exiting the house?

Something doesn't make sense here.

Across from Raines Elementary School.

That Monica could gets things straight real quick. (1:46)

Oh, Barbara AVENUE, not Drive. Got it now. Off Clinton Boulevard between Dixon and Westhaven. I've actually driven past it many times going to Lakewood Cemetary where my parents are buried. Thought it sounded familiar.

One news outlet showed a picture of the front of the home, in the driveway was a fairly new Range Rover and in the yard was a ten year old Cadillac. So what you've got is a person with fairly nice cars, living in a poor area, who had their door booted and was killed, likely targeted.

Smells drug related.

Think JPD would proof their releases a little more closely.

Look no further than the 'other man' in the 'front room'. He claims a dark man in dark clothes in a dark vehicle busted in and started shootin' and he returned fire after finding a pistola. And the victim, having been shot multiple times went outside and fell dead. Right.

What happened is the man who gave these details was having a man to man with the victim about the woman in the room and got pissed and plugged the victim seven times, threw him out in the front yard and hid the pistola. Then he claimed all this shit happened.

Truth will out. Shuler Smitt will get to the bottom of it. Just you wait and see.

7:02, finds his wife with another man, maybe, that should be sorted out if bullet evidence etc.

Won't be no 'bullet evidence', 7:02. The other man in the room had the good sense to dispose of the weapon in question, maybe with the assistance of the 'lady' in the room. The only weapon remaining is the one he says he conveniently found and shot at the 'man in dark clothes'.
