JPD issued the following statements about three separate incidents.
(#1) Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred in the 1200 block of Buchanan Street. It happened just before 11:30 am this morning.
Officers responded to the Chosen Juan Hair Studio regarding a gunshot victim. When officers arrived, they found a black male inside suffering from multiple injuries. The victim was later pronounced deceased at the scene.
Officers learned from individuals inside that the shooting resulted from a verbal altercation between the victim and a second male only known as “Red.” After shots were heard, Red was seen fleeing to a dark colored 4-door sedan which left the scene.
The suspect is described as a light complexioned black male, approximately 6 feet tall, possibly traveling in a Nissan Maxima.
The victim has since been identified as 35 year-old, Richard Helom, Jr.
Investigators are still working to gain an identity on the suspect. Anyone with information about this shooting or the identity of “Red” is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).
(#2) Jackson Police are investigating a shooting after an infant child with a gunshot wound arrived at a local hospital.
Just before 10:30 pm this evening (12/23/18), officers responded to the hospital where the infant male had been brought by private vehicle. Officers learned from the mother that the infant had been shot while at a residence located in the 3200 block of Downing Street. The infant suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken into surgery. His condition is listed as stable.
Officers traveled to the residence and found the location inside where the shooting is believed to have occurred. Others were present at the residence and at least one male is being detained for questioning.
It is not clear what led to the infant being shot however, the individual being detained could be facing charges. His name is not yet being released.

No injuries were reported during the robbery. Store surveillance did capture images of the suspect, who still remains at-large.
Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

If I had a dollar for every Family Dollar that’s been robbed, I could buy myself a Family Dollar.
"Red was seen fleeing to a dark colored 4-door sedan which left the scene."
Most radical Christmas on the planet.
More "perception of crime."
Have they reached the century mark in homicides yet. Only one shooting week left !

It’s a jungle out there, (on the West side of the Pearl River).
@6:13 AM, exactly. Shooting babies seems to be a weekly event in that cesspool. These perps have no moral compass.
Nowhere else to put this. MeRrY cHrIsTmAs to Kingfish who tirelessly provides a fun and educational forum where we can vent, agree, disagree, sound off, just visit or embarrass ourselves. Thank you for this Blog and all you do for the community.
Nothing against the practice of prayer, but I'm rather tired of listening to people tell me to 'pray for Jackson'. At what point do we expect the citizens of Jackson (Black, white and brown) to step up and demand that action be taken to put a stop to this madness?
And at what point can we tell those who call us racist for having that concern to go to hell?
Any time a white person voices concern he's a racist. If a white person makes a suggestion or demands community action, he's a racist. If we criticize the school system or city government, we're racist. If we don't do a damned thing but avoid the city, we're racist.
Does Mack Haik Dodge offer the M61 Vulcan option yet?
Asking for a friend.
@8:48 AM - The "race card" is the only card they are holding. A large supply of these cards were provided by Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, et al. These cards have infected multiple generations of people who won't accept any responsibility for their actions/poor decisions/race baiting, racial finger pointing, etc.
Like an alcoholic, Jackson won't be resurrected until it hits rock bottom, just like Detroit went through.
