New Year's Mayhem in Jackson

It's been a deadly 24 hours in Jackson.  JPD tweeted the following statements:

JPD is investigating a shooting that occurred at an apt. complex in the 300 block of Raymond Rd., just after 5am. A male was transported with multiple wounds after an incident involving a female. His condition is critical. The male suspect fled the scene.

JPD is investigating a shooting after a male arrived at hospital by private vehicle, just before 12:30am. Victim suffered a wound to the upper body and is listed in critical condition. Occurred in the 700 block of Raymond Rd. No motive or suspect info currently known.

JPD is investigating a shooting after a juvenile female arrived at a local hospital with a foot wound, just after 9pm. Occurred in the 1400 block of Palmyra St. while the small child was outside with fireworks. Unknown individuals nearby were discharging firearms at that time.

JPD is investigating a shooting that occurred just after 8pm. A female was fatally wounded when gunfire penetrated a rear bedroom of a residence located in the 2500 block of Shepwood Dr. No suspect info or motive currently known.

Two victims, a male and female, suffered multiple wounds after an unknown suspect fired several shots into their vehicle, while in the area of Clinton Blvd. near Dexter Dr. The male drove to Woodrow Wilson Ave. for help. Both victims are listed as stable at UMMC.

 JPD is investigating a shooting that occurred just after 5:30pm in the 400 block of W. Woodrow Wilson Ave. Reports are that a female has suffered a gunshot wound. Circumstances are currently unknown.

 


Kingfish note: This correspondent personally heard numerous incidents of gunfire after midnight last night.  One could hear the emptying of twenty-round magazines at least three times in Northeast Jackson.

The male in the vehicle with two children that were shot was Lionel Walker.  He was arrested in March for being a felon in possession of a firearm.  However, he was never indicted.

If he had been indicted and had not received a blessing, this would never had happened.

It's time to take out the trash.

What was the final homicide count for 2019 (understanding that the last 24 hours could bump the count higher)?

Kingfish Note, You must have been in the quiet part of town. I live in West Jackson and it sounded like the Tet Offensive from 10:00-2:00. Mostly Semi- Automatic gunfire.

The city needs to give out sandbags & sand to Jackson residents. Than Jackson taxpayers could stack sandbag on the walls in front of their house to stop errant bullets.

Paul,

We had 84 in 2018.

We have had 83 this year.

Not all of the individual articles are showing up. I'm trying to fix all of that now. My apologies for the confusion. Thank you for bringing that to my attention!

The actual map shows all 83 for this year, aside from the two or three where JPD did not release location information.

The odds of being murdered in. Jackson are 2.565 times as great as in Chicago. (490 in Chicago a city of 2,705,994} versus Jackson (84 in Jackson a city of 164,422).

This is the perfect exclamation point to what Hurst was saying: Jackson, you have a gun problem.

Thanks Paul ( and Kingfish) Keep publishing the names. People need to understand the depth of the tragic state of affairs in Jackson.
I wish the faces would be put on a billboard(s). Putting a face to the statistics is needed. Get ready - with a new Soros elected DA - crime stats likely will skyrocket.

3:20 Wrong. Growing up, everyone I knew had guns, and I never knew any of them to either shoot anyone or get shot themselves.

Jackson doesn't have a GUN problem it has a CULTURAL problem!

Anonymous said...

But yet they try to blame it on the thousands of us rednecks that’s have spent hours in the woods since thanksgiving with zero incident. It’s not a gun problem it’s a culture problem.

Anonymous said...

Jackson doesn’t have a gun problem, it has a culture problem. And it’s not getting better. Most people with the means to leave have left and their decency left town with them. Oh there are still lots of decent people in Jackson, but they’re outnumbered by the thugs and the thugs vote their own into office. It’s a death spiral that can’t be broken by a convention center hotel, a few more shops at the District, or a Farish Street project (even with a BB King blues club!).

The sad truth is what a couple of commenters above noted or alluded to. These 80-something deaths are people with families and friends and even futures. All gone. And for what?

Very Cynical Sam said...

I am very disappointed. Car-Jacktown didn't break 100. Slackers. We are depending on you for 2020.

Wait JPD & Mayor say they have it under control. Why does Stokes expect local businesses to put up reward money ? Does he stop the person robbing his home and say wait a minute let me give you some cash! Judges need stiffer sentences & quit catching and releasing CRIMINALS!

3:20, correction: Jackson has an ILLEGAL gun problem. Responsibly and lawfully armed citizens don't go around doing drive-bys and starting fights that end up in shootings; nope...most of us tend to be deferential to our fellow man and not let things get under our skin and understand that using our firearms is a last resort.

No, you have a damn cultural problem. But this comment won’t get posted because it’s the truth.

@ 3:31
That would be 16th Judicial District DA Scott Colom who leads the Mississippi Legislature Black Caucus.
He is the son of Columbus Tort Lawyer Wil Colom. Wil Colom is aka The Black Dickie Scruggs a nd has links to Haley Barbour.
DA Colom threatens to work towards releasing non-violent offenders from prison..turning Mississippi into a veritable Bastille-like prison release. The released prisoners may have been non-violent upon entering prison,but released with no jobs they will have no option but to return to what they do best.
But look for more home invasions.

Jackson is safe ???
Is that what some still believe ????

And to think . . . just a few hours ago some posters were commenting the daily Jackson shoot-outs are a "common" problem in the area.

(No. it's a Jackson thug culture problem).

No further further questions Your Honor.

Sounds like “The Purge” started in Jackson.

I get an average age of 23.2 years old for victims. Anyone want to deny this is related to lack of discipline in education. I know there are many reasons for kids gone bad, but damn, the solution would be to get their attention as first graders and demand that they behave so that maybe some good could sink in.

Mike Hurst said Jackson has a gun problem. I hope Mike corrects his erroneous statement.

Apparently, felon in possession of a firearm is not considered a real crime in Jackson. Presenting felons in possession to a Grand Jury seems like low-hanging fruit to me, and would be a good starting point. Cutting down on incarceration rates by refusing to pursue charges against those who repeatedly violate existing gun laws isn’t much of a solution, nor is simply passing more guns laws.

To paraphrase, as well as reference prior posts, I am shocked, shocked I tell you, that gambling is going on in this whorehouse...now where is that f'ing piano player? I want to hear Auld Lang Syne and have a julep, dammit! This is a perception of bullshit....lalalalalalalala (with fingers firmly in my...eyes...).

PS - say, there, Mayor Choppedpeas - when might we expect to move from perception and distractions to responsibility and actions? Rhetoricality assumed, of course.

Paul Adams:
Can you tell us how many of those murders happened northeast of I-55 and Fortification?

And, I wonder also if KF and the person in the " good neighborhood" are slightly west of I-55 and were hearing west of N. State St. gun fire or is the " good neighborhood" north of Old Canton where it turns at Parham Bridges and not too far from apartments?

Can we have two maps? One with crimes and one with murders?

Kingfish said...

Parham bridges. The shots weren’t echoes or from a half mile or more away either.

Why do Jackson citizens want to live this way? Why do they keep voting into office incompetent mayors, council members, judges, and DAs? No, voting for change will not change the culture problem that exists in Jackson as the family unit has been all but destroyed by national politics, but it will send a message that the status quo will no longer be tolerated. My wife and I chose to live in Jackson to try to be a part of the solution; we see no hope that the majority in this City want to change and have sadly begun looking for properties in Madison.

People were mag dumping inside the Pearl City Limits on NYE as well as all day yesterday. I just hope the fools have sense enough to shoot into the ground instead of the sky.

Probably as much gunfire in the Jackson Metro over the last 3 days as at the US Embassy in Baghdad.

Even east of 55 I was wondering what was fireworks and what was gun shots. Mostly fireworks but occasionally I would hear what sounded like someone fiting off a magazine. The scanner did say there was shits shots fired off Old Canton.

I moved out of Jackson 4 years ago off of Ridgewood Rd. Took a beating on my house sale, But, happy to get out before I became a crime stat. The culture is the downfall of Jackson. If the culture of Jackson was more like the Amish you wouldn't here a single shot.

Guns aren’t considered a last resort to solve problems in Jackson, they are used as a first resort. So many times there isn’t even a problem, it’s just recreation and target practice.

"I get an average age of 23.2 years old for victims..."

Assuming your math is accurate (but regardless, it's accurate enough), you've hit upon the primary cause of the problem. Hear me out. I'd also surmise from the list that most of, or certainly a significant and disproportionate part of, these young victims were black and classified in a very similar and fairly narrow societal and economic cohort. Further, I would make an educated guess that the shooter(s)/murderer(s) were, in a vast majority, young black males of a similar cohort. I would make another educated guess that black and white men over the age of 30-40 own many more firearms (by a very significant margin) than young black males of 23.2 average years of age, with white men of 45 or older being the single largest group of firearms owners in the US by a wide, wide margin. About the only time anyone of any color gender over the age about 25 shoots another person, again of any color or gender, is for very specific and highly personal reasons and when compared to young black males of about 23.2 years of age and belonging to the aforementioned very narrow cohort, the numbers are very, very low.

So, where does this lead? "Gun violence" isn't a racial, gender, age, or number-of-guns issue, it's a young black male of about 23.2 years of age and in a certain cohort issue. And here's a take-this-to-the-bank, bet-yer-ass certainty: those young black males aren't going to turn in guns just because some law mandates they do so and they aren't going to stop shooting at each other because of laws, either. Until society of all races and skin color fixes the real, underlying issue, lists of mostly cohort members with names like Jurqwoine, DeShun, and Dontavious, who were shot by similar cohort members with similar names will be a yearly thing. And that folks is not merely a perception of anything.

Anonymous said...

It was like a war zone all over the state. I heard more shots than I could count in Madison County and heard the same from people all over the state. Literally made the kids go to an interior room all night. Really scary to have some many gun idiots playing involuntary Russian roulette with my family.

So.what happened in Jackson the last ten years?

Fondren is way hipper and cool now. Lots of commercial development.
District at Eastover...
I-55 (the east part)--new Petco, look at Highland Village...
Downtown-condos and two new museums
new childrens museum..

what about the west, south, north--eh...higher crime, less commercial business. and businesses located in those parts either shut down or move
the public schools continue to fail.
zoo?

so the real question is why? it's the lack of care. some residents of jackson care deeply and have made their part of Jackson better and more vibrant. it's also clear that some residents of jackson are deeply involved in crime and illegal activity. MOST jackson residents live in indifference. they don't really care about crime, education, quality of life...and vote accordingly. as long as they aren't getting shot, they just don't care.

can jackson turn around? absolutely. will it? seems as if that's already been answered.

Troll Police said...

@10:30 AM - Troll! If you were standing on the north sidewalk of E. County Line Road, sure, you would hear gunfire coming from Jackson.

If you were in the Madison the City, nope.

If you were out in the county near Flora, maybe, as that is very rural.

Go troll on the Rez.

Jackson doesn’t have a “cultural” problem it has an underground economy problem, which is driven mostly by poverty. Most of the victims are in their 20s. Young folks are more likely to commit violent crime and when you add in poverty it exacerbates the situation. The last thing we need is a bunch of self righteous clowns that voted for Tate Reeves and Donald Trump lecturing us about morality and cultural problems.

Anonymous said...

7:19, I may be self righteous, but I’m not a clown and I didn’t vote for Reeves or Trump. You readily acknowledge that the young people of Jackson are “more likely to commit violent crime,” yet in the next breath you tell us not to criticize it or call it out. That we should all just accept criminal violence among the young people of Jackson, as if it’s a perfectly normal part of growing up, is the epitome of a “culture problem.”

Idiots like 7:19 would go down with the Titanic before they'd admit there was a problem, just so they could keep their "progressive status" on Facebook....

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.
