JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that left two people
dead and one injured. It occurred in the 3100 block of Bailey Avenue
near Ridgeway Street.
Shortly before 1:30am,
officers responded to Skonny’s BBQ, where they found two black males
suffering from gunshot wounds. One victim was pronounced deceased at
the scene and the other was transported to a local hospital where he was
deceased on arrival.
Officers later learned that a third black male victim had been
transported by private vehicle with arm injury that is non
life-threatening.
According to witness accounts, the two deceased victims had exited
out of the business, and shots were fired shortly thereafter. The third
victim is believed to have been injured during that time.
An unknown black male suspect, wearing a gray hooded top, left running north on Bailey Avenue just after the shootings.
The identities of the victims have not yet been confirmed.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

More harassment...
And the mayor said Jackson would be a safe place...This city is shit.
"fatal shooting that left two people dead"
fatal=dead
or fatally dead
"pronounced deceased on arrival"? At least the fatal shooting that left two people dead continued with the fact that one individual was only injured. Might make that sentence structure slightly acceptable. But 'pronounced deceased'? More like, was DOA.
Good news is that we are a long way from Chicago - they are working on their 7th dozen for the week.
"fatal shooting that left two people dead"
two=2
or two people are dead
Mayor Baby Chuck can keep saying Jackson is a safe city
all he wants but the facts tell a different story.
There are many more violent crimes that never
make the news. Jackson is finished until new
leadership is elected. Unfortunately that will not
happen until the uneducated population changes.
Anybody see that happening anytime soon?
I enjoyed the video of the white guy in sunglasses pleading with the whole metro area to do something to stop violence. She said he did not know what the solution was and I wonder if he is clueless as to what the problem is? I sort of know, well kind of and I have to clue as to how to solve it.
Fatal = DRT = Dead Right There (x2)
I didn't think this kind of violence was supposed to happen in Mayor Chokwe's Marxist Utopia. What's up with that?
Seems like I remember MIKE HURST (US Attorney) promising to make Javkson safe again. Well I guess HURST is failing. Empty political promises.
Goggle streetview makes it look like a neighborhood going somewhere.
As long as you are not in a gang or in the drug trade, Jackson is pretty safe place relatively speaking. These homidicides (97%) are anything but random. When you are in the game, this is always an option. I will be much more alarmed if lots of random acts of violence start happening but there is no reason to think that will.
One of the news stories said January - April has seen the most murders since statistics started being kept. It's reminding me of the late 80's and early nineties crime spike.
And the mayor said Jackson would be a safe place...This city is shit.
Since many of you are working with very little common sense, just look at the damn area, Bailey Ave & Ridgeway, nothing but drug activity. You can pretty much do whatever you want in Jackson, if you want to go looking for trouble, it will find you.
But if you are not looking for trouble and minding your own business, you can go wherever around here.
This wasn't a random shooting between unfamiliar people.
Look... me and the McDonald's people got this little misunderstanding. See, they're McDonald's... I'm McDowell's. They got the Golden Arches, mine is the Golden Arcs. They got the Big Mac, I got the Big Mick. We both got two all-beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles and onions, but their buns have sesame seeds. My buns have no seeds.
Now I'm branching out into BBQ with my cousin Skonny McDowell. Should be no problem at all.
Conflict resolution is a huge issue in Jackson. So sad.
With 8 out of 10 babies born to unwed, already impoverished mothers...no programs, grants, initiatives, handouts,protest marches, civil rights museums, etc, etc are going to change anything. It is what it is. KF had an earlier post citing statistics from the MS Dept of Health. It's actually gotten worse over the past two decades. So much for throwing money after this problem, it simply doesn't work. Move the Capitol to Brandon and let Jackistan rot. Maybe even need to build a wall!
Can one really get BBQ at 1:30 am?
"But if you are not looking for trouble and minding your own business, you can go wherever around here."
Speaking of working with little common sense...
I again refer to a comment from Nia Umoja at a city council meeting two weeks ago:
We also need to take command of the narrative that is perpetuated on our place. Folks that don't live here do not have the right to character assassinate our home or position a narrative based on their own fears and misconceptions.
Since then, four people have been murdered in West Jackson and shots were fired at a memorial for one of the deceased. Facts are annoying, right Nia?
I thought that was the stupidest comment of the year, until someone in this thread said that Jackson is safe except for the gangs and the drugs. Congrats on out-stupiding everyone, Bozo!
7:57 nailed it. There is no listing anywhere for a Skonny's BBQ, but another story listed that exact address as 3115 Baily Avenue. Take a lookat what's actually at that address. What BBQ business... or any other kind of restaurant/business... operates with no sign or any other identification on the front? Looks like there is maybe some kind of small, hand written sign on the front door, behind the heavy security door.
The apparently still operating convenience/grocery next door to the left is heavily secured as well. That's the NW corner of the intersection of Baily and Ridgeway btw.
"Move to Jackson they said. It has very low crime, they said."
"This wasn't a random shooting between unfamiliar people."
Exactly, and they almost never are. As long as you aren't in the "game" in Jackson, your chances of being involved in something like this are not too bad. Things improve even more as you move to the "better" parts of town. Yes there are random robberies, and have been some murders, but the vast majority of the killing is soldier on soldier.
"The identities of the victims have not been confirmed." How many people moving around town, getting shot, carry no identification?
12:30, you seem to be okay with "random robberies" and "some murders", too.

What are you going to do when they are random? Murder is going to happen every day. 9 times out of 10 its going to be done by a familiar person - whether its your children, spouse, neighbor, co-worker, cousin, the list is endless.
I've lived in a city with a population of 10 million and I find it comical how the suburbanites are so dramatic over the crime in Jackson.
More evidence of the lack of random violence on uninvolved victims. //roll eyes//

Aaaand how do you know this was a random act? No sign of forced entry.
2:20 PM/2:12 PM/7:57 AM/7:42 AM/Donners;
I, too, lived in a city with 10 million and random crime is not something at which to shrug one's shoulders and say "Well, shit happens so get over it, [name of group you look down upon]". Your attitude, I take it, is one of you don't care and, I would guess, you truly think nothing could be wrong.
A city of 170,000, statistically, should not have as much violent crime as this place - period - but when it is filled with people who don't consider it to be a bad thing, I suppose the numbers speak for themselves.
The second-worst part of it all is that a cognizant human being thinks it's all fine and immediately tries to turn attention to insulting people who DO think that the issue a problem.
When someone near and dear to you is lost because of random violent crime, your view may change.
7:42 AM & all the Donners on here;
Do you remember the sport fisherman murdered in cold blood in the motel parking lot several years back?
Do you remember the JFP howling that it wasn't a bit deal due to media coverage?
Do you remember them saying it was only to be expected because this is a city and to "deal with it"?
Do you remember the JFP lashing out at the victim's family?
Do you remember them saying because it was a 'botched' robbery that it was okay and not at all random?
Do you recall them pushing the 'perception of crime' narrative, even though people are murdered at high rate in Jackson?
THE MAYOR WOULD DO WELL TO EXAMINE THE MODEL OF REDEEMER PRES. CHURCH ON NORTHSIDE DRIVE.
GOD IS AT WORK CHANGING HEARTS AND LIVES REGARDLESS OF RACE , SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS , ETC. THOSE PEOPLE
THERE PRAY, LOVE AND WORSHIP IN SPITE OF THEIR DIFFERENCES. THEY ALL SERVE THE SAME AWESOME GOD.
JACKSON NEEDS REVIVAL. IT MAY SOUND TRIVIAL TO A NON BELIEVER, BUT NOTHING IS TO BIG FOR GOD. WE MUST
CONTINUE TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING.
JACKSON CAN ONCE AGAIN BECOME THE CROSS ROADS AND SHOWPLACE OF THE SOUTH.
4:47 - I DO remember the Professional Bass Fisherman being murdered at Motel 6. I have posted about that fifteen times in the past two years but Kingfish always culls my post. I am still confused as to why he does that.
What struck me was that neither the mayor nor the chief of police, both newly elected, attended the opening event at the Reservoir or made public statements regarding this murder.
Apparently Kingfish didn't find that alarming or at least consequential.
