Double Trouble in Ridgeland

There were two major crime incidents in Ridgeland yesterday.  A shooting took place at Midway Park.  RPD Chief John Neal stated on Facebook:

RPD responded to Midway Park on South Midway Ave approximately 5:50 pm and discovered a 23 yoa male subject shot. He was playing basketball with a group of guys when a 4 door white truck drove by and shot multiple times. Victim was transported to hospital in critical condition. Efforts underway to locate vehicle and suspect(s). Information gathered at the scene indicates this was an intentional shooting but unsure of the intended target.
Midway Park is between Hwy 51 and I-220.

A strong-armed robbery took place at the Game Stop on East County Line Road yesterday as well.   Chief John Neal released several statements and pictures: 

A report of an Armed Robbery at GameStop located on County Line Road was received by the Ridgeland Police Department on Monday, 6/17, at approximately 5:30 pm. Taken during the commission of the crime were gaming consoles, game controllers as well as an undisclosed amount of cash. The suspect fled the scene in a stolen blue Dodge minivan bearing Louisiana plates. This vehicle was later recovered in Ridgeland after being abandoned by the suspect. No one was injured during this incident. The suspect was caught on camera and should be considered armed and dangerous. Please contact Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS or Detective Adrian Ready, Ridgeland Police Department, at 601-856-2121.

Anyone with information on this robbery is asked to contact the Ridgeland Police Department at 601-856-2121 or the local Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers number of 601-355-8477.



Attached are photos from a 2nd suspect from the County Line Road Game Stop robbery on Monday, June 17th. This unidentified subject was with the male subject in the previously released statement from Tuesday, June 18th. Ridgeland PD is attempting to identify this suspect as well. Notice in his left hand is a firearm while he is clutching money from the register in his right hand pressed against his chest.

That one dude looks like Riff Raff. Been had dat. He should buy the middle of the mall that's for sale.

This looks like something from the movie Death Wish. Low-level punks running amok. The shooting at Midway sounds cartel-related, aka South of the Border Bad Hombres. The truck is a dead giveaway.

Madison county had been spiraling down unreported for a while. I hope they don’t think Costco will turn things around.

Cynical Sam said...

"Intentional shooting?" WTF kind of a statement is that? The chief has a firm grasp on the obvious!

Build the wall, but this time along the Trace. The "front lines" are slowly moving northward. Bring in the heavy artillery and gun ships. Apaches and A-10s can do the job.

Triple the police force and put undercover cops EVERYWHERE !

The cancer is spreading.

Looks like the guy in the video "It's ma'am!"

To the cartel expert at 8:48; I have a white 4-door pickup - does that make me a cartel member? I sure hope you're not in law enforcement...

At some point folks will have to recognize that moving 10 miles up the road is not a long term solution to crime. Its good for builders, but that's about it.

You care to share your better ideas? They aren't afraid pf cops or prison. And we are no longer allowed to do what used to scare them into civil obedience. So please do enlighten us with your solutions.

11:09....haha, and we keep spending tens of millions every decade to widen I-55 to accommodate the "growth" every step of the way. People might stop doing that if the feds and the state quit enabling the sprawl.

Tell that to the middle class black community in Jackson because that is the demographic which represents the vast majority of citizens migrating out of the Capital City crap hole.

Willing to trade my cul de sac home for subpar H2O. Too much overhead.

what you were allowed to do!? Please provide more details on what you were ALLOWED to do

Then why don't you go over to Virden Addition and provide us an example?

Anonymous said...

@11:09, I don't pretend to know the solution, I only know that after 50 years of suburban migration, what we are doing isn't working. Unfortunately, I don't think that a 50 year old problem can be fixed in a year or two.

The noose was a prime modivator for civil obedience and it was used most effectively.

A prime example would be those cattle rustlers in Forest. They would've been hanged 100 years ago. Same went for horse thievery.

As for Virden Addition, I have no idea what that is so I cant speak to that part of your comment.

Well, the incident in Ridgeland was like 99% of the other shootings in the metro area - a personal problem between the victim and the assailants.

Hell, everyone around this wild west metropolis runs around with an AK-47 or Colt .45 in their back pocket anyway - so what are you scared of to begin with?

Anonymous said...

All this "growth" is a misnomer. Take away all the stupid money the feds and MDOT have thrown north and east and all of this migration would not have happened. But the ones doing the migrating are also the ones doing the campaign contributions. So we have 8 lane highways going through abandoned areas of our capitol city. Seriously, why are state tax payers paying for multiple new interchanges in Madison County? The people who moved there should be paying for this. All those people you are coddling will be moving down the road in a few years. Again.

I wish Jackson, Pearl, Clinton and Ridgeland would come together to fight crime in Jackson. Because if you can clean up Jackson it will definitely help out the surrounding cities. We all have to be willing to work together and help each other out...

Anonymous said...

10:39 - Please continue. What's your plan for how that could possibly be accomplished? And don't say 'work together'. That's not a plan.

Anonymous said...

Single parent homes and drugs are the problem and the 10:39 poster is correct. The surrounding areas can do more to stop the crime spreading out. Jackson PD and the judicial system can’t contain it. But, you will NEVER change the democratic culture.

The cities you mentioned in Rankin County do help Jackson. When Citizens of Jackson attempt to use their 5 finger discount here, our LEO'S chase them all the way back, arrest them, and then prosecute them in a court that gives no blessings.

Please, by all means continue. What the hell can the surrounding areas do to stop crime from spreading out of Jackson? Water runs down-hill. So does sewage. Other than moaning about it and being armed, what can be done? We all want to know your solution. Let us know...and soon. Thanks

The RPD chief studdered and stammered during a presser. I was waiting on the edge of my chair for him to parrot: "It's only the perception of violent crime in Ridgeland."

But alas, he didn't go down that rabbit hole.

If you think the Ridgeland PoPo Chief stammered, when was the last time you heard the Madison chief stand in front of a microphone? Thirty years on the job and Mary has never let him say a word.

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.
