JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson police are investigating a shooting that occurred around 6am today near Schoolview Dr. 34 year old James Johnson was found deceased after wrecking his vehicle. 22 year old Clifford Jennings was also inside the vehicle and was transported to a local hospital and is listed in stable condition. This is an ongoing investigation.
Kingfish note: JPD says this is #98 but that does not include the MBar homicide.

Can we have a betting contest on when # 100 will happen. I betting on Sunday night.
Why is the MBar murder not included in the tally?
Next.
" Jackson police are investigating a shooting that occurred . . . "
Sad, but just another day in the Capitol City.
People became immune to such "breaking news" a very long time ago.
So many. They will pass the century mark in the next week or two. None related to me, or folks I know, but still really sad.
Even WAPT parrots that it is "98 in the city of Jackson," when it is 99, like one less makes Baby Chok look better.
100 by Wednesday.
You can take that to the bank (but wear a mask).
120 for the year.
Oh, on WAPT the on-scene reporter shows where the victim ran over a street sign.
Wait for it...a NEIGHBORHOOD WATCH ANTI-CRIME SIGN.
You can't make this up.
Hinds County Sheriff worked the M-Bar murder so the COJ doesn't count it.

Well it looks like my prediction was right about Sunday night.
@ 3:49
You called it. Another one just reported
#100 Sunday @6PM on Meadow Oaks Park Dr.
Guessing Covid will come in second to causing deaths in Jackson at this rate.
2020 = 128 (Projection based on current murder rate.)
2020 = 100 (YTD. +20.48% YOY. New Jackson Record)
1995 = 92
1994 = 91
2018 = 84*
1993 = 84
2019 = 83*
1991 = 76
2008 = 73
1996 = 67
* Antard Lumumba Yearly Average = 83.5
I don't see any reason for humor or sarcasm about Jackson homicides. One hundred families are impacted, and that is very sad to me.
Perception of crime
@6:48 AM - "Families?" That would require two identifiable parents.
JPD chief blames the violence on the pandemic. He must have a PhD in criminology. //roll eyes//
unless my numbers are off, we legit hit numnber 101 last night.
This would be a good time for the Mayor to call Mike Hurst's office and leave a message.......any assistance would be gratefully accepted.
#101
https://www.wjtv.com/news/local/15-year-old-shot-and-killed-in-jackson/
To date:
Jackson
101 murders
160,628 population
1 murder per 1,590 residents
Chicago
625 murders
1 murder per 4,310 residents
Jackson's per capita murder rate is 2.7 times worse than Chicago's.
Very progressive stats for the brave new city.
"Lumumba is such a great mayor for Jackson"-No one, Never.
" JPD chief blames the violence on the pandemic."
But of course.
He works for Lumumba.
This "JPD Chief" says anything the young Mayor tells him to say.
Listen to the Chief the next time he gives one of those rare press conferences .
