Jackson suffered its 100th homicide last night for the second year in a row. There were only 82 homicides a year ago. WLBT reported:
A 19-year-old man was fatally shot in Jackson.
The shooting occurred around 1 a.m. Saturday around Marwood Drive.
According to authorities, the 19-year-old was shot multiple times and was transported to Merit Health, where he succumbed to his injuries.
Authorities say a 15-year-old teen was also shot multiple times and was transported to Merit Health, where he is listed in stable condition.
Oh well, the Mayor ran off the JPD Chief and the Command Staff who kept the number of homicides in the 60's. Perpetuating racism and cronyism was more important to Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba than fighting crime.

Perception of crime
At this rate it may hit 150 by years end. Jackson is still numba 1.
60.1/100k, impressive. St. Louis, one of the traditional homicide capitals and 40% larger, has had 92 this year. Jackson's population is less than 6% of the state population, and for the last ten years Mississippi has averaged 210 homicides per year, for the whole state, and that includes Jackson's totals.
May I say it first ?
"NEXT".
Wondering: How do you figure a police chief and command staff "kept the homicide rate" at ANY number? Please cite the last time a cop prevented or stopped a homicide.
Put em in Memorial Stadium with bullet proof glass and sell tickets. The "gladiators" would make a fortune, and we taxpayers would save a fortune.
Oakland, CA has a population af about 450,000, and the OPD Chief is singing the blues because they just hit 87 homicides this year. That's a population of about 275,000 more than Jackistan. Click on link above.
Where is chucks plan to have youngsters talk it out. Can’t remember what plan number that was.
The chief's highly publicized real time crime center will be kicking in anytime now, but until then it's only a perception of 100 homicides in Jackistan.
the 5 point plan.... the linder- maple study.........the fat headed chief of police calling it ''A PERCEPTION OF CRIME''.........THE march for peace........there has been so many plans, studies, and press conferences and marches it would take a IBM computer to keep track of them.
and nothing changes...it only gets worse .
all these plans and studies go all the way back to the 1980s
this is what happens when the family unit is destroyed by welfare, free money , free food , free everything, courtesy of the socialist state and the likes of benny thompson
welfare rots the soul from the inside out
Helluva way to gain national attention, ain't it?
Looks like MS is finally going to be first in something!
Stay calm a social worker will be there in 40 minutes.
Not to worry. Kingfish to the rescue. Wait...have you noticed he has never once made a recommendation.
"Recommendation" Lol. It the city's leadership elected to do their damn duty and job. They campaigned on fixing all the problems.
I see two problems. 1 It is a culture proble. 2 Ignorant people do t know they are ignorant.
2021 Jackson metro murder rate is 2.7x that of Chicago.
"ONLY"?
Let me offer some help with the math:
Population of Jackson: 154,340.
Homicide 100 was at the end of week 36.
100/36=2.78 per week; 2.78x52=144 per year.
(144/154,340)x100,000=93 per 100,000
2:48: So if Kingfish suggested that Mothers and Fathers must actively raise each and every kid they create with morals, decency and respect...and also earn a (non-illegal) living to provide for those same kids while actively advocating for those kids education, you'd immediately agree and implement his recommendation...right?
Because that is the solution.
But I bet its not the one you want.
