JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting
that occurred on Lake Forest Drive. It happened just before 8:30 pm
yesterday evening.
Officers responded to the 6500 block where they
found a black female lying in the roadway. She was then transported to
an area hospital where she was listed in critical condition.
Officers later learned that the victim was seated
in the driver’s seat of a vehicle that was occupied by three other
individuals. One of the individuals in the rear was handling a handgun
when the firearm discharged, striking the victim.
All occupants of the vehicle were detained for questioning in order to
determine what had occurred. No arrests were made at that time.
Earlier today, investigators learned that the
victim had succumbed to her injuries. She is identified as 18 year-old,
Kishawnna Buckley. An arrest was made shortly thereafter, of 19
year-old, Keyshun Jefferson, who is charged with manslaughter.
Kingfish note: This is the 12th woman murdered in Jackson this year.

I'm speculating that the path to this crime started with guns that were stolen from the lifted (not even 4WD) pickups in Rankin and Madison.
Hot truck guns then sell or trade on the streets of Jackson.
And it appears that if you are a teenager from Mendenhall, then you can come to town and buy guns and dope and take them back to run your criminal operations in the country.
Unfortunately inthis case, there was a live round in the pipe and the teens failed to practice trigger discipline and someone got killed.
Is it not speculative to say this is 'murder'? And, no, it was not 'unfortunate' (which implies accidental) that the gun had a live round. It was full of live rounds, no doubt, chambered and clip.
Darn, because it has been a long dry spell of what, 5-6 days, I mistakenly assumed that Mayor Baby Chok put a stop to this gun violence stuff.
Oh well, maybe his next initiative will work. It could happen....really....
Wow CCT, you are a regular (and witty) Sherlock Holmes! JPD ought to hire you as their lead detective, as you should be able to figure out all of their unsolved murders. You must have gotten your world class investigative skills from watching reruns of "In the Heat of the Night" on MeTV.
In the Heat of the Night is a great show. How absolutely dare you!
Teenagers can't legally buy or possess handguns. How did they get them if not stolen?
Also, no new law could be created that would've stopped this accident.
Why is a teenage, high school girl from Mendenhall in Jackson at 8:30 P.M. on a school night? Where are the parents...........oh wait, my bad.
"...teenagers can't legally buy or possess guns". Not true. They cannot legally buy a gun with the criminal background check in place. But, there's no law that says they can't hold, use or be in possession of a gun belonging to someone else. However, please realize this is Jackson, Mississippi and all laws are 'off the table'. This is just another story of punks being punks.
@4:33
Your reading comprehension is lousy. No one under the age of 21 may buy or possess a handgun.
@5:42 PM - Wrong! A person under 21-years may in fact POSSESS a handgun. OWNERSHIP is a different thing. How could a youngster shoot with an adult if they didn't POSSESS a handgun?
Title 97 - Crimes
Chapter 37 - Weapons and Explosives
General Provisions
§ 97-37-14. Possession of handgun by minor; act of delinquency; exceptions.
Universal Citation: MS Code § 97-37-14 (2018)
(1) Except as otherwise provided in this section, it is an act of delinquency for any person who has not attained the age of eighteen (18) years knowingly to have any handgun in such person’s possession.
(2) This section shall not apply to:

(i) In attendance at a hunter’s safety course or a firearms safety course; or
(ii) Engaging in practice in the use of a firearm or target shooting at an established range authorized by the governing body of the jurisdiction in which such range is located or any other area where the discharge of a firearm is not prohibited; or
(iii) Engaging in an organized competition involving the use of a firearm, or participating in or practicing for a performance by an organized group under 501(c)(3) as determined by the federal internal revenue service which uses firearms as a part of such performance; or
(iv) Hunting or trapping pursuant to a valid license issued to such person by the Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks or as otherwise allowed by law; or

(4) For the purposes of this section, “handgun” means a pistol, revolver or other firearm of any description, loaded or unloaded, from which any shot, bullet or other missile can be discharged, the length of the barrel of which, not including any revolving, detachable or magazine breech, is less than sixteen (16) inches.
I get asked for ID every time I buy .22LR, .223, and 9mm because you have to be 21 to buy pistol ammo or rifle ammo that can be used in a pistol.
"....it is an act of delinquency..." Please.
@5:42 who said "No one under the age of 21 may buy or possess a handgun." You might want to sit down and read the law. There are multiple situations/exceptions during and under which a person under the age of 21 may be lawfully in possession of a handgun.
