Murder-suicide at hotel (Updated)

Update (12:30 PM, 1/25/18): The identities of the female and male in yesterday’s death investigation at the Crown Motel have been confirmed.  They are 35-year-old, Chrystal Burrage and 41-year-old, William Wade, Jr.  She was a clerk at the city of Jackson.


There is still no additional information available related to their deaths.
JPD issued the following statement. 

Jackson Police are investigating a double shooting that occurred in the 200 block of Boling Street, at the Crown Motel.

Shortly after 12:30pm, Officers responded to the location after receiving a call from management that tenants within a room there had not checked out nor were they answering the door.  Officers attempted to enter the room and could tell that an object was partially barricading the door.  Officer were finally able to gain entry and immediately found, both a male and female lying motionless on the floor.  Both appeared to have been fatally shot.

Based the initial evidence observed, it appears the incident was a murder and suicide.  A firearm was found inside the room.

Neither of the decedents have been positively identified as this time.  The relationship, if any, between the two has not been established nor has a motive.  It also remains unknown how long they had been inside the room prior to being discovered.

Detectives are still actively investigating the incident by speaking with other individuals who were occupying rooms there, to gather information which could help determine what took place inside that motel room. 

Anyone with any additional information that may assist in this investigation is asked to contact Police at 601-960-1234 or call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

This investigation is ongoing.

How many murders is that already this month. 8 or 9? Anyone know?

Did management indicate whether the occupants had rented the room by the day or by the hour? Might provide some background info as to the motive.

The tv stations aren't talking about the numbers,

@5:39 it is at least eight which puts 2018 in Jackson on a record pace for homicide.

5:40 - The Bill Will Motel closed many years ago. Nobody rents a room 'by the hour' any more.

According to my count (not counting the suicide), this makes 8 murders, with 6 other people that have been shot. Busy January for sure.

I hate to bring it up but has anyone heard the cause of death of the young man and woman right before NYE over near 220? Just fell out of the news.

I didn't know that there were hotels or motels in that area...west of the zoo is not the prettiest spot in town.

Sad that the report to police was 'did not check out of room' and not 'shots fired at this location.' Jackson is a very scary place these days.

@7:57 Jackson has plenty of by the hour motels. I am a phone company tech and had to go to the Mustang motel during lunch to work on their service. That parking lot must have filled up and emptied three times during lunch time. All by the hour.

I think the Rainbow where there was a killing earlier this year is a by the hour joint.

9:54 PM, I agree. What happens to all of these news blurbs that later become forgotten footnotes??? I'm sure this one will go the same way, such as the poor young girl killed at the intersection of Fortification and State.

Drive down Highway 80 for a number of by-the-hour options. Same goes for the Boling/Industrial area.

The Zebra Motel may be closed, but the spirit lives on in the City With Soul.

7:57, you obviously never leave your neighborhood and venture out Hwy 80, or MLK Drive, or some of the establishments in the inner city. Plenty of places where one can go take a short nap in the middle of the day when they don't have time to go home but need the siesta hour.

It's all fun and games until someone can't pay for "services rendered".

I'm not particularly surprised at the number of murders, so far, in Jackson. But, I am surprised at the number of JJ participants who know full details about where you can get a quick nap during the day at seedy motels. I think I need to wash my monitor screen. Some of you are probably using public computers at the library.

Wonder why the reporting on this is so quiet. Heard Wade was a JPD officer. Bodybuilder

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.
