3rd man arrested in Fortification Street murder seeks bond.

JPD arrested Jushun "Red" Paige in the Chelsie Kirschten murder case and charged him with accessory after the fact to murder. The 24 year-old woman was shot to death on Fortification Street on August 17, 2017.  Police also arrested and charged Nicholas Coats and Lidarius Dixon with Capital Murder.  None of the suspects have been indicted for any charges related to her murder.  Paige is currently on probation for carjacking.

JJ obtained the police report through a public records request.  The report states:

Nicholas Coats advised that Red and Twin got into the Jeep and drove down Congress and saw the white Pontiac G6 GT. Mr. Coats advised Twin  jumped  out  of  the  vehicle  with  a  silver  revolver  and  discharged  the  weapon  when  he  approached  the driver's side window. On August 25, 2017 Detective Corry Jenkins received a tip that Nicholas Coats was  involved  in  the  murder  along  with  Twin  and  Red.  Twin  was  identified  as  Lidarious  Dixon  and  Red  as Jushun Paige.
Police arrested Paige on October 24.  The arrest was not reported in the media.  County Court Judge Bill Skinner denied bond for Paige at a November 13 preliminary hearing and bound him over to the grand jury.  He has not yet been indicted in the case.  Attorney Rhonda Cooper represents Paige.


None of the suspects have been indicted.  Coats was released on January 10.  Judge Skinner denied bond to Coats in October but stated in the order that he was to be released without paying a bond if he was not indicted by January 2, 2018.

Paige filed a motion to set bond today in Hinds County Court.  The motion states that a JPD officer said that Hinds County had a hold on Paige at the preliminary hearing.  Paige claims there was no such hold and that he should have been allowed to post bond.  The motion also states that a prosecutor said that Paige would be indicted by January 8, 2018. 

Paige argues that since Coats was released without posting a bond even though he is charged with murder, Paige should be released since he is charged with a lesser crime.  He also states that he was a "crew leader" at Kentucky Fried Chicken and was employed for several months.



The motions, bond order, and police report are posted below.  However, Paige was released from prison just a month before the murder after he served a few years for carjacking.



Jushun Paige was part of the gang that went on a horrific crime spree in January 2015.  They went on a rampage of robbery and carjacking throughout the Jackson area until they were caught.  Three members of the gang were convicted of murdering Carolyn Temple.  Paige was not implicated in her murder but was arrested for being involved in one of the carjackings.  The police report states:

On January 12, 2015 at approximately 1313 hours Officer Lorenza Sanders IBM 2249 responded to 1415 Maria Drive in reference to an Armed Carjacking. Upon arrival Officer Sanders came in contact with the complainant who stated his daughter informed him that her 2004 Ford Explorer was making a loud noise. The complainant stated he went to test drive the vehicle and while at the stop sign  five black males jumped out in front of the vehicle with automatic handguns. The complainant stated he jumped out of the vehicle and ran to 1504 Maria Drive for help. The complainant  stated  the black male subject  was wearing gray sweats.
A grand jury indicted him for armed carjacking since he allegedly used a gun to carjack the victim.  He pleaded guilty to simple carjacking in March 2016.  Circuit Judge Tomie Green sentenced him to serve 10 years in prison but suspended 7 years of the sentence and gave him credit for time served in the Raymond Detention Center.  He entered MDOC custody on March 28, 2016 and was released on July 17, 2017 under the Earned Supervised Release program, one month before the Chelsie's murder.   He is  serving a probation term of three years. 

Kingfish note: You read the headline correctly.  Paige was arrested after Dixon and Coats.  Since he was arrested as an accessory, he escaped media attention.

Oh look. Judge Greene went soft and now a girl dead. I'm shocked.

What good will it do to arrest them? One of Jackson's finest will let them all out of jail.

The first thing that should have happened is he should be revoked for the 7 years suspended in the carjacking. Period. Where are you on that Judge Green.? Forget bond for this violent thug. How can that attorney say in a document he does not pose a risk to society. How many violent crimes must you participate in before you are labeled what you are- A Danger to the rest of us. Saw TTG is runnIng again. Here is her chance to change this narrative and look out for her county instead of these criminals. Revoke his butt instead of giving a rat’s ass about this carjacker’s constitutionall rights. .

During discussions that are very serious in nature, I get tired of the chirping goonies who are only concerned with other media outlets 'ripping off Kingfish's journalism'.

Goonie Chirpers in 3..2..1..

Judge Greene has an enormous amount of blood on her hands apart from this one murder. I don't know how she can sleep at night. She's a complete idiot and always has been. At least the 25 years that I have known her anyway

She can sleep at night because she is a complete idiot.

Although never having a Church to call his home, Jushun was an esteemed graduate of Popeyes Spice University, with a minor in Biscuitry. Ultimately, not being able to identify the last 4 ingredients of my 11 secret herbs and spices drove Jushun to a life of crime. Unfortunately, he won't find them there either. We at Kentuckys Frieds Chickens are committed to our employees, and we sincerely hope that Jushun can turn his life around a mop for several years in a caring environment before being finally certified as extra crispy.

My niece was murderded in cold blood in Jackson Mississippi in August 2017
Unbelievably, the "justice" system is completely failing not just my family...but the whole of the community.....letting cold blooded killers walk free. One of the killers just waltzed out of prison a few weeks ago...we learned about it after he and his friends were boasting about it on Facebook.

Jackson Mississippi is a lawless warzone where murderers walk free.

How does anyone in the community let any of the elected officials continue with this conduct?

I want to see The Press do their job and prosecute the system....because the system is failing!

MDOC and prosecutors generally don't try to revoke probation on a felony arrest but usually wait for an indictment before proceeding.

The girl was shot once . By one person and one person only . The person who pulled the trigger should be charged for murder and not released . Everyone else should indeed be charged as an assessory and given the time as such . But being held without Bond and no indictment on a charge that someone has already confessed to is not right at all . The justice system should put more of their time into their cases than they do . They feel every case is an open and shut case and that's not the case .

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.
