JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred in the 3600 block of Medgar Evers Boulevard. It happened at just before 1:00 am this morning.
Officers responded to the shooting just outside of Club Anonymous. Once there, officers located a black male inside a vehicle and suffering from a wound to the upper body. The victim was transported to an area hospital where he later succumbed to injury.
Based on witness accounts, gunfire was exchanged between the victim and a second black male, while standing outside the club. The victim then attempted to drive away following the altercation but was unable.
The victim has since been identified as 32 year-old, Steve Willis. It is believed that Willis may have known the suspect however, his name remains unknown. It is also believed that the suspect may have been injured during the exchange as well.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477). Up to a $2500 cash reward is possible if information leads to an arrest.

Let's see if the report shows up in the March 15 doc dump.
Shooting at Club Anonymous, suspect unknown.
Sounds like everything is going according to plan.
KF, I’m confused. The headline is Anonymous Homicide but you then name the victim, Steven Willis, in the article. Did you make a mistake or update the post with new info but didn’t change headline?
Guns & alcohol. Recipe for disaster.
Next-
Perception of anonymity.
@1:32 pm, are you serious? Homocide occurred at “Club Anonymous”. You must’ve missed that in the post.
"It is believed that Willis may have known the suspect..." I wonder how they came up with that? If the PoPo can guess that they might have known each other, why can't they guess who the other dude was?
And they might also want to guess that people inside Anonymous knew who both of them were.
1:32 - It's a clever headline due to the location. The suspect is still anonymous though.
@1:32 Please put down the glue
Maybe the PO-PO will get an anonymous tip.
would love to hear the excuse for why this fella was shot.
9 times out of 10 it was over some petty sh*t
@6:19 PM
My guess is the now deceased victim gave the police the street name of the perp. Probably even told them he was unable to drive. What do you think?
