JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred in
the 3800 block of Northview Drive. The incident happened shortly before 3:30pm.
Officers responded to a residence at the corner of Northview Drive
and Audubon Place. There, they found a black male lying in the yard
suffering multiple gunshot wounds.
Police also observed several spent casings in the street and were
later told that shots had been fired at the victim from a dark colored
sedan that was traveling north on Northview Drive. The vehicle also
appeared to have a small spare tire on the rear.
Very little is known about the suspect but it is believed to be a
black male. A second individual is also believed to have been driving
the suspect vehicle.
Officers later located a person of interest at a residence not far
from where the shooting occurred. That person was transported for
questioning. No arrests have been made.
The victim has been identified as 50-year-old, Angelo Taylor.

So, 17 months ago in Jackson, Hinds county, he set a house on fire burning pet dogs to death and he is out of jail. Arson must be a misdemeanor in Hinds county.
The people who lived in the Kings Highway house told me that the man arrested for burning down their house had asked them if he could purchase a vehicle of theirs and when they said no, he came back and lit a mattress behind the house on fire. They got out in time but their dogs did not including a mother dog and her puppies. It was horrifying. Good riddance.
Street Justice has been served
My Gosh...The state can't build enough prisons for all the crime. Hang 'Em High I say!

"So, 17 months ago in Jackson, Hinds county, he set a house on fire burning pet dogs to death and he is out of jail. Arson must be a misdemeanor in Hinds county."
As of July 20, 2018 he had not indicted for the charge that originated in March of 2017.
Hinds County DA's office...working for you.
Actually, arson is one of the hardest things to prove. You literally could have video evidence of someone with lighting the fire, with date and time stamp and it still could be thrown out. This is coming from an insurance perspective.
"The vehicle also appeared to have a small spare tire on the rear."
Unless it was a Cadillac with a half-vinyl top, continental kits are pretty unusual, even in the Metro.

I agree with you about arson being very difficult to prove. It rarely is ever proved.
9:14, everything in Hinds County is a misdemeanor.
"Perception of crime"
A dozen comments and not one "The Fondren" joke? You guys with your tired, trite jokes are slacking.
11:31 I bet they meant it had a "donut" tire on the ground/rear azle.
This outcome saved taxpayers a small fortune.
What a small world and karma is real! I knew the people well that Mr. Taylor burned out too @9:21 AM. Your accounting of the incident is spot on.
"Arson must be a misdemeanor in Hinds county."
Crimes are defined by state law, not by counties.
Yeah, not super worried about this one.
