JPD issued the following statement.
Jackson Police are investigating a shooting that occurred earlier this morning at 5075 I-55 North Frontage Rd.
Officers were called to the location and upon arrival discovered the victim Josh Casaus deceased at the scene from a gunshot wound by suspect Dishawn Sanders.
When officers arrived, Sanders also fired at the officers. Officers returned fire striking and killing Sanders.

Kingfish note: uh-oh, the officer screwed up. Anyone want to guess how?

105&106?
The officer didn't give the perp a chance to run??
I’ll venture a guess. He took the murder’s life while defending his life as well as others. He’ll catch hell for doing so. Give him a reward!!
Succumbed and succumbed
The suspect succumbed to police return fire.
Either 106 and 107 or 107 and 108.
Ummmmm, the officer was still in his draws due him being at the motel ? All kidding aside, sounds like a good shoot.
Antar will have them riding the desk for 2-3 years or until they leave the department. Other officer lost to the suburbs. At least a new training class of 8 cadets is in the making.
Yes KF, because he or she did their job! God bless them!
Just holding down court cost and fees.
Unless the JPD officer is white and the deceased is African-American, the MSM could not care less. It doesn’t fit any sort of official state narrative of unfortunate and miss-understood and innocent African-American males suffering white supremacist police brutality.
Body cam?
I suspected that business is dead at the hotels along I-55N.

I like your double entendre. Intended or not.
@11:57 PM - thanks, I'll be here all day. Tip your waiter and try the prime rib.
"I suspected that business is dead at the hotels along I-55N."
Unfortunately no. Unsuspecting travelers passing through on I55 don't know the history.
@1:52 PM - you have a firm grasp on the obvious.
KF - screw-up => officer didn't obtain permission from Mayor Baby Chowke to shoot?
I'm guessing the screw up was that the cop didn't allow himself to get shot first before returning fire? Am I close?
Marshand Crisler was shot in the leg.
At one time long long ago, that was actually a nice Hotel. Had a pretty decent little restaurant. Had dinner there one night with my girl friend when we noticed Kiefer Sutherland and his significant other dining a few tables away. Must have been when they were filming in Canton. Yeah, it's been that long ago. 1996.
Don't know what hotel 4:30 is referring to, but the motel where the murder happened is the Extended Stay America Suites. It's where people stay for an "extended time". ie. contractors in town for weeks, or a lot of other people who don't have homes or anywhere else to go. i believe it's section 8 qualified, since it offers monthly rates. I think 4:30 thinks the article is referring to the Hilton on County Line Road. Pretty sure Keifer Sutherland wasn't at the Extended Stay America Suites. And it certainly doesn't have a restaurant.
I believe it's actually the old Holiday Inn
Sorry, Bub. Google earth street view drops me in front of the very same hotel at 5075 I-55N that I mentioned. It's either 4 or 5 stories. Pool in a courtyard behind the main hotel. Other rooms on the other side of the pool. It is adjacent to and north of where the old Red Lobster was located. The restaurant of the hotel was in the southeast corner of the hotel facing the frontage Rd./Highway. White cobblestone facade with arches on the front with a green roof. Just like it was 25 years ago when I had dinner there and attended conferences.

Did he have an ND while cleaning his service weapon?
I sure don't recall Howard or Maggie even mentioning this event on last night's WLBT 5 or 6 pm report. Wonder why?
