No charges filed against teen protecting mother.

The Jackson Police Department issued more information about a deadly crash on Ridgewood Road that happened in August:

On August 25, 2017, Jackson Police Officers responded to 6024 Lake Trace Cir. regarding a shooting. Upon officers’ arrival, they observed a silver SUV fleeing the residence at a high rate of speed. The vehicle was being driven by Megan Durr and the front seat passenger was later identified as Marcus Lockett-38. It was later learned that Lockett had sustained at least one gunshot wound to the upper torso while allegedly involved in a physical altercation with his girlfriend, Ms. Durr at the residence. Ms. Durr was attempting to transport him to the hospital when she lost control of the vehicle on Ridgewood Rd. near Fontaine Dr. striking a tree. Both occupants were ejected from the vehicle and pronounced deceased on scene. Ms. Durr died as a result of blunt force trauma, and Mr. Lockett suffered blunt force trauma injuries in addition to the gunshot wound.

During the course of the investigation, it was learned that Ms. Durr’s son, 15 years of age, allegedly shot Mr. Lockett during the physical domestic altercation. He was questioned and later released, pending the outcome of a Hinds County Grand Jury decision.

A recently released autopsy report and medical examiner’s ruling, ruled Mr. Lockett’s death a homicide from a gunshot to the arm. An arrest at this point is not expected and the findings of this investigation will be presented to the Hinds County Grand Jury. This brings Jackson’s homicide total to 54 for 2017.
Poor kid.  Did the right thing and his mother dies anyway.

First of all, awful story and sorry to hear it.

But what caught my eye was Ridgewood at Fontaine. Wonder if the massive potholes going up the hill right there had anything to do with her losing control of her vehicle? My steering wheel tries to come out of my hands as I'm navigating the swales and divots going through that stretch, and I'm not hauling a$$ like she was.

Maybe so on Fontaine, but no longer on Ridgewood. Nice new surface being completed - Praise the Lord and pass the chicken.

Gunshot wound to the arm and blunt force trauma after being ejected from a vehicle during a crash and the medical examiner rules it a homicide from the gunshot to the arm. That makes no sense. This is not a homicide.

Nothing is said here about 'protecting the mother'. Where's the story?

So your mom is getting beat up by her boyfriend and you decided to grab a gun- wrong answer kid. Ms. Durr's son need to be charged with manslaughter. Bringing a gun into an argument between your mom and her boyfriend cause a chain of events that YOU are responsible for. I hate that she died but you need to be held responsible for your actions.

Not so much potholes but the huge dips and sways of the roadway going up the hill certainly disrupted the vehicle at a high rate of speed. The vehicle likely "launched" unevenly due to how the dips are angled.

There is no new surface on Ridgewood near Fontaine

homicide simply means a human being died at the hands of another human being. it is not automatically a crime. the ME finds the "cause and manner of death" but do not decide if a crime has been committed.

Do they think the car wreck might have had a little to do with his death?

5:05, it's a technical thing. Gunshot wound resulted in driving to hospital. Driving recklessly led to mvc. Mvc led to ejection, which resulted in death. Human-inflicted injury causes chain of events leading to death: cause of death = homicide.

First, one can easily die from a gunshot to the arm if a major artery is hit. Presumably a person suffering such a wound could then be in a car accident and continue to die from the original wound. Whether that was the case here is a fact to be determined by the investigators and medical examiner, not the internet.

Second, using deadly force in defense of others is generally appropriate and legally justified (under the legal principles of AOJ and disparity of force) when the person being defended and/or the defender are under potentially deadly assault, regardless of whether weapons were previously involved. Whether that was the case here is a fact to be determined by the investigators, not the internet.

Not only is deadly force appropriate and legally justified, it is the right thing to do.
We have too many thugs. We need to thin the herd.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
