Suspect was indicted last year for aggravated assault on LEO.
Hinds County Sheriff Lee Vance issued the following statement.
On July 4, 2020 at approx. 0107 hours, Hinds County Deputies investigated a shooting that occurred at the M-Bar Club, 6340 Ridgewood Ct. During the preliminary investigation, it was learned that several victims had been shot following an altercation that occurred inside of the club. One of the victims, later identified as Cortez Shelby-41, sustained a single gunshot wound to the neck and was pronounced deceased on scene. Three other victims, a female and two males were also shot and transported to UMMC for medical treatment. Their injuries are not life threatening.
Investigators learned that an altercation occurred inside of the establishment between the suspect and at least one other person. The suspect, described as a black male wearing a red baseball jersey produced a pistol and began firing multiple shots striking multiple victims. The suspect fled the location on foot and later fled in what appears to be a red or maroon Ford Mustang with a large white diagram on the rear window. Investigators have not been able to ascertain if one of the injured victims were involved in an altercation with the suspect.
This is an ongoing investigation and Investigators need the public’s assistance with any information regarding this incident and/or information regarding the suspect. Pictures of the alleged suspect have been made available on Twitter, @CountyHinds. Please call Crimestoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477) or HCSO at 601-352-1521.

| Javarius Stewart |
Kingfish note: The suspect is Javarius Stewart. His DOB is 10-9-97
A Hinds County grand jury indicted Stewart in December for aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. He rammed a Clinton police car and then rammed a civilian vehicle during a pursuit. He was also indicted for receiving stolen property and felony fleeing. The Judge (unknown) released him on his own recognizance.
This is a link to a video of the murder scene. It is pretty grueseome and yes, it shows the deceased. Don't say you weren't warned.

Definitely a future doctor or engineer who was at a turning point in his life. Thankfully we have improved so much as a society that he wasn't ventilated expeditiously. Now we can be assured that more tax dollars will be spent housing and feeding him for 25 to life.
Isn’t that right by a Chuck E Cheese? Nice!
Elections have consequences.
Looks like some good cases for the new surgery interns at UMC. Just the first Jackson Friday night of many to come.
Don’t worry HInds County Justice system will get to him in the next decade.

Thats optimistic of you.
KF, it is inconceivable to me that this defendant was released on his own recognizance last December after being charged with aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, among the other felony charges you named. Are you sure about this? If so, it is truly shocking.
Twenty-three years old, and now he's killed someone. His life is effectively over before it's even gotten started.

Cause he a “goot chyle”
Suspect on the run? Why, he murdered the guy in Jackson, Ms., All they will do is take his picture and let him go. I am pretty sure his current no money bond does not allow him to carry a fire arm. Any chance the fire arm was not registered to him?
it took over a year to get an indictment- speedy Hinds County justice!!!
1:07, it's the Hinds County judicial system. What do you expect? Apparently Continental Tire's consultant didn't disclose this factoid.
@2:43 PM - There is NO gun registration in Mississippi.
This is why I don’t go take my family to any restaurants in Jackson any more.
How does someone get into a sports bar carrying a gun? Isn't there security? How does the suspect escape on foot without anyone pursuing him? And came back to drive away in his car?
As soon as the judge saw “Clinton cop” he was free.
I’m guessing this individual will cost taxpayers well over a million dollars once you add up
all the welfare benefits, attempted educational costs, the cost for multiple trails, and the costs
for his incarceration. Where are my reparations for having to help support this barbarism ?
When Javarius shoots and kills one black man, and wounds three other black folks at what is apparently an entirely or mostly black club, folks might get tempted to ask themselves, "shouldn't black lives particularly matter to black folks?" This sure doesn't sound like white racists had hired him to forcibly collect past-due water bills or anything like that. Anyone with any sense should have no problem admitting that Mississippi has racial problems, particularly of white racism against black people, but sensible people should have no problem admitting that the black community must also help itself prevent these type of things. I must admit that I cannot honestly say that Javarius' life now matters as much as, for example, Mrs. Evers' life because he has shown that lives don't matter to him. All people have civil rights, so I hope he gets the fair trial to which he is entitled. And if he is guilty, I hope gets a serious sentence, because all people also have civil responsibilities, too.
...and they're not wearing masks!
Why is HCSO the lead investigative agency on this? Did Mayor Choke order JPD to ignore fireworks on the 4th?
Isn’t that right by a Chuck E Cheese? Nice!

Do you think Chuck E. Cheese is open at 1am? It’s been closed for months anyways.
What the hell is new? Why waste all this page space?
I bet he said he would be good when they released him with no bond after his driving misunderstanding back in December. With that in mind, there is no way he did this. They no doubt have identified the wrong guy. Dang PoPos.
Isn't this inside the City of Jackson? Why is Hinds SO handling this?
Until he is killed, he will kill again.
Like trying to tame a cottonmouth.
People you need to look at this thing from another angle, the judges in Hinds County are letting these animals loose so they can roam and kill each other. Yes, you do have collateral damage, but’s that’s all a part of warfare!
apparently one does not have to take out their diamond earrings for their mugshot. he must be something special.
This doesn’t appear to be a mugshot. The earrings threw me for a loop as well.
BTW, people have gotten firearms into clubs for years.
I thought taking the flag down was supposed to fix everything.
@ July 4, 2020 at 1:07 PM, with any and all respect due, you must be new to Jackson, and have no experience with any other leftist run city for that matter.
HIGH CRIME IS A LEFTIST TACTIC.
They love it since HIGH CRIME ALLOWS LEFTISTS TO MOVE IN AND TAKE CONTROL of the city.
HIGH CRIME CAUSES the PEOPLE that would never vote for them (Chokwe as one example) TO FLEE TO THE SUBURBS.
You find it shocking that a leftist judge would release this thug?
You must get out of the box and understand TRUE EVIL in order to fully grasp the LEFTIST SYSTEM.
Search St Louis prosecutor Kimberly (Kim) Gardner. Researching this leftist THUG should help you grasp the concept. She’s fire up about prosecuting the lawyers with guns defending their home, but see how she gave rioters a pass, as well as many of her other leftist thug constituents.
Search ROBERT (BOB) WOODSON. This African American (original) Civil Rights Leader HERO will educate you on how LEFTISTS USE RACE AS A RUSE, to take the spotlight off of their decades of failures running cities like Jackson.
Happy learning!
P.S. The next time you hear some THUG OR FOOL mention new “common sense gun laws,” remember that LEFTISTS ONLY WANT NEW GUN LAWS TO USE ON THEIR ENEMIES…and the proof is they will not even enforce current laws against their thug constituents. LEFTISTS LOVE EVIL!

D/L photo. We all get the same background. Except troopers, theirs is a different color.

Trying to connect a family restaurant to a shooting at a bar at 1am is a stretch
