The Ridgeland Police Department issued the following statement.
Two arrests have been made in regards to the shooting on I-55 in Ridgeland which occurred on Saturday, 4/24, at approximately 1:47pm. Marcus Luckett, 15 and Kevin Harris, 16, both of Canton have been arrested in Canton. Luckett is charged with Murder and Harris is charged with Accessory After the Fact to Murder.
Ridgeland PD has located and seized the suspect vehicle, a tan Chevrolet Malibu, in Jackson.
This incident is believed to have stemmed from some sort of earlier argument between the parties; this is not believed to be a “road rage” incident.
The Criminal Investigations Division is working day and night to bring all parties involved to justice.
Special thanks to our surrounding agencies, Madison Police, Madison County Sheriff’s Office, Canton Police and Jackson Police as well as the US Marshals Fugitive Task Force.

Kudos to the RPD. They don’t play games with these thugs. Where is JPD on the murder on Ridgewood at Atkins 2 weeks ago. Will they ever make an arrest?
Unfortunately, it looks like Ridgeland/Madison/Gluckstadt are in a Jackson/Canton sandwich. That's a tough place to be, because it's only gonna get worse.

Again, y'all can never keep up with your talking points. JPD makes arrests on a high number of their murders.
11:54 well maybe Madison county should get a hold on their crime problem...
Even as heinous as it may sound, I am relieved it stemmed from a previous dispute and not some random road rage incident.
hahaha
Still waiting for Madison County to publicly report the crimes they don't solve in the middle to upper class areas. The people who live in those areas tell others. I wonder if they even make a report for insured thefts.
15 and 16 year old suspects. Whoever put a gun in their hands should be charged as an accessory as well.
What is Ridgeland city leaders going to do about this?

"What IS the city leaders going to do?" I don't know, but I'll bet that they don't blame it on COVID, or climate change, or racism, or white flight, or the fact that their zoo needs to remain open, or whatever the Lumumba talking point in the City of Jackson is today.
I hope they are charged as adults and sent to Parchman for the rest of their thug ass lives.

What are you talking about? I didn't mention Jackson, I was talking about Ridgeland.
12:18, they probably stole the gun all things considered... the people that do this type of crap generally aren't the classiest of people!

Tell us about Hinds County prosecuting these murderers when they are arrested. Or,,, even JPD referring the case to the DA. It's just not happening.
JPD has a pretty good clearance rate on murders. Heaven knows they've had enough practice, unfortunately. The murders are getting prosecuted by the new D.A.
Because the Madison County criminal justice system functions as it should, these two will never be heard from again.
I agree they should be charged as adults.
After watching the movie Unhinged, I am disappointed that this wasn’t due to road rage.
15 yo and 16 yo suspects?
Sounds like we need some midnight basketball again to solve
the crime problems with the youth
@ 11:43
If Jackson's "judicial system" did their job half as well as JPD the murder rate in Jackson would be cut in half in a matter of months.
FYI, JPD patrolman said that the shooting on ridgewood stemmed from a previous shooting at M-Bar. Was retaliation
@3:08 PM - true, "midnight basketball" combined with "shovel ready jobs" should do the trick. The problem is that the yutes will confuse it with "midnight requisitioning."

You can say the same thing about: Highland Park, Texas; Coral Gables, Florida; Mountain Brook, Alabama; Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan; Rancho Santa Fe, California; Beverly Hills, California; and even Long Island's iconic Locust Valley, Roslyn, Kings Point/Great Neck, and Old Westbury.
However, despite being "surrounded", they're all doing JUST FINE, THANK YOU.
Whew! Glad this resulted from an earlier altercation and not just a spontaneous 'hold my beer, dude'.
Waiting for Empower Mississippi and Rusty Latino to recommend leniency. After all, these boys need to be in study hall working on career planning.
Kids killing Kids, Night club patrons killing night club patrons. Drug sellers killing drug customers. Gas station customers killing gas station employees. I am sure I missed quite a few other categories. I don't think we have a pastor killing a parishioner yet. What next? Maybe we should appoint a blue ribbon team to develop a category list.
"Jackson/Canton sandwich. "
Great analogy !
BTW, the few in the new "posh" developments in Flora, and " Livingston" ... should be concerned as well.
12:16 you’re knowledgeable beyond the rest of us. Will you inform with facts or simply cast unsubstantiated innuendos? Just sayin.
The cities of Ridgeland and Madison have their crime under control. They are holding the line against Jackson to the south and Canton to the north. These thugs are straight from canton.
Death Penalty would be fitting; however, they are “too young” for that.
Adults raising kids without morals or respect for life or the law raise kids without morals or respect for life or the law. A cycle that seems to repeat itself over and over again in cities across America.
@9:16 PM said “Adult raising kids without morals....”
Unfortunately what we’re seeing now is the result of a several generations worth of kids raising kids. Need to get those fathers back in the home
