Jacktown Bud was shot to death at the Southside Barber & Beauty shop on McDowell Road.
This is not the first time Laramie "Jacktown Bud" Collins was shot. WAPT reported in 2016:
Laramie Collins and Kamesha Brown were shot sometime around 6:30 a.m. on Bent Tree Drive. Collins suffered gunshot wounds to the chest and arm while Brown was struck in both legs.
Update: The street chatter is a man, hooded and masked, waited behind the building. He walked up to the vehicle and we'll, lit up Collins. He left without taking a large sum of money in Jacktown Bud's possession.
Collins is the owner of Pops, The Daquiri Bar, and several strip clubs.

Gone, and (sadly) soon forgotten, except by his momma.

Someone had a hair trigger?
Damn! Was afraid that the slackness over the past few days was gonna cause the city to fall below a new record for this year. But no fear, the gangs are still at work, we will certainly reach a new record for Lumumba's goal of creating a new city for all, based on his (and the controlling sister's) new community outreach.
Hate it for the family, but wonder how they all voted in the last election.
Who?
With all being said….I here the Southside Barber and Beauty is nice. Even do fried turkeys out back.
That must have been a hair raising experience for the customers.
Jackson need a new mayor and police chief because all the mayor do is talk a good game but not doing anything to back it up
Vote the Mayor our he ain't doing nothing to move Jackson forward from the day he was elected he was a major set back
The high murder rate is not the fault of the Mayor. It’s irresponsible parents who have children and then don’t teach them anything about right and wrong. It’s the media who tells them they are hated and will never have a chance in life. It’s the government that enslaved people with the addictive drug of dependence.
A lot of comments about on social media about this guy being killed. Saying things like “they fixing to tear Jackson up. For real”. So I assume a lot of retaliatory gang crime is about to happen. Never know when you will get caught in the crossfire.
Chowke's perception of murder has only reached last year's record of 128. With only a month to go, 150 is not likely. Maybe in 2022.
Tyree will save us. Not!
May be better stated by saying "was" the owner of those fine establishments!
Public Union… are you trying to sound uneducated or not an English speaker? While I agree with your points your English and speaking skills are such of a child! have you had any education in your past?
Thugs killing thugs. Allegedly, ‘ol Bud funded his ventures with dope money. There were killings at Aces club downtown, kept quiet by the city. Drug dealing in the club.
The joke is that his Facebook friends are babbling on about how he was trying to good things and his efforts were bringing Jackson up. Really? These people are the product of a terrible education system. They are the racist reality of low expectations by the black ruling class. Real shame.
Reminder that just like the previous 120+ Jackson murders, this one won’t garner national media attention either because such crimes are endemic.
Now if the shooter turns out to be white…. lord help us all they will riot from Toledo to Timbuktu.
I must agree with 10:02, and would ask Public Union, can you remind us for the record about the part where he "talked a good game"? That speech escapes me.
The comments on his Facebook pages make me wonder if any of his supporters/friends ever took English grammar. My God. Can you spell "run on sentences"?
I guess this means he won’t be able to open a club on Highland Colony!
Jackson is 4th and long.
Anybody in the 'nekkid bidness' is lucky to live past the ripe age of thirty-two. Nothing but crime, unGodly conduct and meanness exists inside and emanates from these dens of iniquity.
At least Harvey Johnson outlawed the sale of dildos at the toy-shop on 80 under the stack.
Just the beginning……… Who’s NEXT?
5:49, you seem to be an expert in all of that "smut stuff".
5:49 here. Nope, I just pay attention to my surroundings. If you disagree with the post, state your argument instead of chirping from the bleachers. Wait, don't tell me...Two wives divorced you for hanging out in the titty-bars.
What is the meaning of the nickname?
10:44 - 5:49 is old enough to remember when strip club lawyer Matthew Moore was shot and killed.
Another life was stripped from a Jackistan resident. It was a close shave for those around him.
I remember when The Memphis Mafia brought the 'nekkid bidness' to Jackson. It was embraced and became a destination tour for local executives who had clients and business associates in town for a day or two.
Whether we're talking about the 8mm film strips available on Capitol Street 50 years ago or the VCR Skin-Flicks at the intersection of North State and Northside a decade later, the outcome should have been anticipated.
"Strip clubs" What could go wrong?
OK, I’ll admit I’ve been to a few in Atlanta, Dallas and Houston. Once in Jackson years ago to please an out of town client.
The difference in the first three cities and Jackson was similar to watching a Major league game and a bad semi pro team.
I saw someone in the comments speak of the murder of attorney Matthew Moore, who represented the strip clubs in Jackson, in 1995. I tried and found little info online. Did they catch the suspect or figure out the motive?
a thug who runs a rat joint strip club and a cheesy bar gets dead and the know- it- all- keyboard cowboys of JJ go to work and show off their expertise about the adult entertainment business.
5;49 really needs to go home to his mother .
he seems a little insecure
you clowns sound like frank melton who blamed strip clubs for all of jacksons problems in order to divert attention away from his totally failed administration and the fact melton could not even get out of his own way.
i guess this crowd here on JJ still believes him.
One minute you pretend to be a psychologist and the next you're an expert on Municipal Public Administration. Keep bouncin' off them walls, 9:39. One day you'll make sense.
No one was arrested for Matthew Moore’s death. There was a rumor at the time that it was suicide. I have no idea.
9:39 makes plenty of sense. you don't know much about the history of the adult entertainment business in jackson, now do you zatchu ben??
to 9;14........if you only knew the about of money a well run, professionally managed strip club makes you would not be such a wise ass.
If this passes for a prominent businessman in Jackson now wonder that city has gone to shit. I never knew a strip club owner/night club owner would be considered important.
"..you don't know much about the history of the adult entertainment business in jackson.."
Ah, I can proudly answer, NO.
I do, however, suspect (just a hunch) that those who participate in, advocate for, produce, patronize and finance the 'nekkid bidness' bring nothing of value to any community.
to 5:23..........then explain why men are lined up to got in there.
You stated "several Strip Clubs in the area." I'm gonna need a listing, I only knew of two
7:56 - take your pick...
Little pecker syndrome.
Getting none at home.
Impressing the pals.
Impressing the visiting executives.
Tired of jerking off to Threes Company reruns.
Taking a walk on the wild side.
Hell...You tell me since you're the one in line.
Not a place for compassion I see. I was just home visiting and googled this case to get more info. This is not what I expected but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
On behalf of Jacktown Bud I like to say Fuck all y’all Anonymous Bitchhhhhhhes!!!
