There was a drive-by shooting that took place in downtown Jackson. A man in another vehicle shot up an Infiniti vehicle near High Street, wounding the male driver and female passenger. The Infinit came to a stop at the intersection of Capitol and Lamar streets. Witnesses said there were bullet holes in the windshield. Pictures of the crime scene and victim are posted below. More information will be posted when available.
The man lying against the SUV is the victim but he is alive.

This should help downtown businesses.
I worked in Jackson for 30 years. I moved to Madison. I only go to Jackson for medical appointments now.
Those Madison and Rankin County real estate agents will do ANYTHING to get a sale.
Glad I’m working from home.
The BOLD NEW CITY!!!!!
But this isn't the City With Soul PoPo's turf...remember, this is the Kapitol Kops responsibility. Seriously, This is so out of control. Maybe we need to get some consultants from the Mayor's list to sort this out.
One block from the governor's mansion; three blocks from JPD. Will THIS be the straw...?
It looks like the Capitol Police are on site now, so I hope that means that they are going to do more than just give lip service...
Yikes! We don’t have this problem in Flowood!
Will this be the straw? Hell nawwww. Lumumba wont even mention it I bet. He doesn't give a shit about this city. He only wants to peddle his agenda and party in DC and Atlanta. He is using the City of Jackson and it's people to further his political career and the city and it's people are too ignorant to see it.
JACKSON homeowners still on fence about selling:
✓ Jackson will continue to decline rapidly as long as Lumumba is in office.
✓ If it works, Lumumba intends to break it.
✓ Lumumba has de facto defunded JPD via incompetence, micro-management, indifference, lip service and his familial anti-police philosophy.
✓ RECORD murder rates, running thug gun battles in broad daylight becoming the norm. CREDIBLE MESSENGERS get Rukia paid BUT ARE A JOKE!
✓ Highest property tax rates in the metro by a mile!
✓ Belhaven CID won't do jack shit to curb crime. Cameras are a joke and won't stop you from being mugged, robbed or shot.
✓ Jackson infrastructure is cratering. Surface sewage happening everywhere, boiled water, NO water, rampant illegal dumping, the list goes on and on.
✓ Hinds County BOS nothing short of lunatics run amok.
✓ Hinds County judicial system a complete disaster. Catch and release, Jermaine Darnell White, catch and release, Jermaine Darnell White.
✓ New HindsCo jail will take YEARS to build and become operational.
✓ Fed has no choice but to jack up interest rates to tame inflation.
✓ Higher interest rates reduces your pool of potential buyers.
✓ Increasing transition of Jackson housing to rental stock only exacerbates YOUR neighborhood instability.
✓ Fed interventions (Hinds jail, Jackson water & sewer) will FORCE MASSSIVE property tax and rate increases upon you over which you'll have no say and control; property values will only decline further.
✓ Your days to quickly sell your house and get out of Jackson are dwindling.
✓ If you don't get out now, you may never get out or may get out with comparatively NOTHING.
WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
1:54. I doubt Mr Reeves actually lives in the mansion.
JPD HQ? not much they can do in a city where criminals have been given a free pass
Please stop complaining. You watched as the Mayor defunded the police. the cops were the only citizens who said anything. They have moved and/or resigned from JPD. Thanks Mayor.
Btw, where is the money from
Settlement to fix these pipes? Just sick of you and your stealing administration and sister. The frustration is real. Wait til you see what else he has up his sleeve for the City before he rides east…
I hope Tate lays into Jokeway in the speech.
More like the City of Souls.
Get out! Get out while you Can!
I blame the Governor and Legislature at this point.
Jackson, the City with Holes.
154, no, its not the Kapitol Kops responsibility. It is the responsibility of JPD. The KK can provide assistance ---- at this point. But as the second 1:54 notes, this might be the straw ..... and it will become the Capitol Police's responbility.
Hopefully.
Just a couple of Jackson's finer residents no doubt arguing over what the governor should say in his state of the state address today.
Jackson. The city with one less soul.
Somebody done been disrespected.
Didn't get comped at the Mayflower ?
Those roundabouts bring out the worst in people....
All these problems will just go away if we can only find a way to legalize pot and let everyone get stoned.
Petition to rename the Capitol Police to Keystone Cops.
The shooting happened very close to the Woolfolk Building on Lamar. The white car drove to Capital before the driver passed out. The shooters car was last seen on Monument street.
Just cultural norms in action that you are a bigot if you point out.
I'm beginning to think I would be safer in Kyiv, Ukraine than Jackson.
It is time the state takes over Jackson.
that's the end of downtown. most of the world thought the violence was only during nights and weekends. MOVE YOUR BUSINESSES NOW. your employees will be shot on their lunch break.
Looks like downtown is well landscaped. That's one good thing.
Obviously one more of the results of poverty and lack of opportunity. Neither shooter had a Mercedes or Cadillac. Poverty IS violence.
@4:15
Responsible business owners moved out years ago. I moved my business out 20 years ago when an employee was mugged in the parking garage. Writing on the wall was very clear, even then. I can’t imagine why someone would still have their business there today.
Pearl PD and MHP were in pursuit of a vehicle on State Street around 4:30 today. Looks like someone thought they’d be safe in Jackson.
The dignity economy in action.
You get the government you deserve.
Mayor Lumumba believes every area of Jackson should share in the crime and violence ... he calls it equity.
Crickets from Belhaven, Eastover, and Fondren. They can't even muster 1000 people to protest in front of city hall or the mayor's house. Pathetic.
Chuck has got to go. We need a real leader to deal with this crime. Hate to tell you, these crimes will never hug it out. We need some black ops to get this under control. There is no fear by the criminals.
Just curious. Does anyone know how many of the homicides last year were solved?
Spending $10 million to change the streets to two way traffic caused this. Keep these mongrels at least a block away from each other. Those little traffic circles are just too close for modern weapons.
The photos are worthless, meaningless. The 'video', if you can call it that, is even worse - four seconds of nothing. Typical shit from Kingfish.
Hahahahaha…….pathetic!
2:06 PM response is the best. Just wonder how he made those check marks?
The Capitol Police really need to step up their game. All I ever see them doing is patrolling and observing.
The anti-CRT bill is ruining the state already.
Chokwe said don’t arrest anyone just rehab them and love and nurture them
Can you believe this clown.
traffic circle all secure sir
"I blame the Governor and Legislature at this point. January 25, 2022, at 2:41 PM"
How so and why? Do you really think a governor or legislative body has the authority to over-take a municipality?
Hey I like JJ the best. Can we all please work together to cancel the Angry Redneck “SaveJxn” guy? He ain’t trying to save anything but his own anger and his own money.
6:24 Well - The State can take over failing school districts. When there is rampant civil unrest, YES The Governor/State can take control.
JPD Chief Davis on the news last night, blamed gun shows for the increase in handgun homicides. SMH
YES The Governor/State can take control.
When you have time, cite your reference for that (incorrect) opinion.
Well...if you decide everyone is entitled to both own a gun and open carry despite being mentally ill/impaired or having a history of criminal behavior or domestic abuse, why are you surprised?
In that same area on the weekend while getting something from the office, I saw a man in pajama bottoms talking to himself or the voices he was hearing with a holstered gun on his hip. He walked up to several buildings and just stood staring.
You made politics all about individual "rights" without thought to consequences, individual responsibilities or practical guidelines. Worse, you've elected people clearly displaying symptoms of dysfunctional mental disorders to office. This is what you get!
Calm down and read a book on Abnormal Behaviors instead of polluting your brains with political drivel so you can,at least recognize "crazy" and "dangerous"!
9:40 is right.
We should definitely limit the right to own guns.
We should also make murder a crime.
It its illegal, it will stop...right?
