A man shot Antonyo Esco to death at the Village Apartments Sunday night. Esco was selling a gun to the suspect. The suspect took the gun and killed him in true Terminator fashion.
JPD has not made an arrest in the case.
Esco? Where have we heard that name before?
Oh yes, JPD arrested Esco in February for possession of crack cocaine, armed carjacking, and of course, capital murder. JJ reported on February 13:
JPD arrested a trio of teens for capital murder and carjacking as well last week. Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeff Reynolds denied bond for Trevyon Esco, Antonyo Esco, and Bartholamew Ferral (appropriately named) Bell for the capital murder charges and set bond at $1 million for the carjacking charges. Law enforcement sources said they are suspects in numerous Belhaven carjackings. The suspects are 17, 16, and 18 years old.
Jackson Municipal Court Judge Jeffrey Reynolds denied bond on the capital murder charge and set bond at $1 million on the carjacking charge.
However, Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels remanded the capital murder and carjacking charges back to municipal court but allowed the crack cocaine charge to stand on a $25,000 bond.
Esco posted bond and back on the streets until he met his untimely but predictable death Sunday.

Stricter gun control laws would have prevented this killin’!
He was a good boy. Selling the gun to have money for church offering-where he was headed. Don't know why people thought bad of him.
If only all the Hinds problems would self-resolve so easily.
Hey Jody, once less case to slow roll into oblivion.
I hope people take note that it was Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels who reduced the initial bond set by Judge Reynolds, which then paved the way for Esco to be released. The public needs to know who the judges are who are allowing this non-sense. Here, the problem was McDaniels, as it is reported to often be.
Why is it that today’s problems in Jackson result from past solutions? Who would’ve thought that letting criminals out in the streets would cause criminal behavior to flourish in the streets?
Society wins and a burden to the taxpayer is no more.
Selling a LOADED firearm is not real bright. No mention if the gun had been stolen, but likely.
@10:26 AM is likely trolling, but if not, let me help you: it is already A CRIME TO SHOOT/KILL someone.
Guess we'll never get the cure for cancer now.
Capital murder sentence carried out. Next case.
Another soft-on-crime judge, bent on completely destroying our communities by refusing to detain accused murderers.
Are they getting paid by the gang bangers? Are they scared of retaliation? Or do they truly just not give a shit about anyone except the perps?
We need better judges in Hinds County!!
So sick of hearing about crimes committed by people who shouldn’t have been out in society in the first place!
Please stop the gun shows. The gun show loophole caused this.
Wait, this Judge Johnnie McDaniels?
New Judge Who Wants to ReThink Hinds County Juvenile Justice System
What an awesome slate of newly elected judges that turned out to be!
@11:10
@10:26 was kidding. You didn't get the joke. Good grief . . .
Interpersonal, right?
yawn......
NEXT !!
What does it mean to remand the capital murder and carjacking charges back to Municipal Court ? Does that mean they are dismissed or that those charges will be tried in Municipal Court ? If that means they were dismissed, does anyone know why Judge McDaniels dismissed them ?
Judge Johnny McDaniels,” This Young Mans Blood is On Your Hands”. He could have been waiting in an unlocked cell in the Hinds County Detention Center talking on his cell phone smoking that good weed!
You owe this man’s family an apology. Maybe you can help pay for his funeral!
To 10:26 and 11:47. I hope you were joking. If not, do you really think a new gun law would prevent a shooting by a criminal? They are criminals because they DO NOT OBEY THE LAW. Think they would obey new gun laws?
"What does it mean to remand the capital murder and carjacking charges back to Municipal Court ?" It means that it is to be dealt with as a misdemeanor. Murder is reduced to Simple Assault w a weapon and carjacking is Trespass less than Larceny, which by itself is still a Felony. I'm sure it will fall under Jackson Statute, lets make this shit up as we go along.
Armed carjacking and capital murder are grown-up crimes. Judge McDaniels, this guy was no longer a child for you to counsel and rehabilitate.
Anyone who thinks Judge McDaniel is soft on crime doesn’t practice law in front of him. He is absolutely biased in favor of the prosecution in 100% of the cases. If he sent some cases back to JPD it had to be because they screwed up so bad he couldn’t cover for them… like he usually does. You want tough on crime to the point he violates the law… Keep voting McDaniel in.
he never had a shot for a real life. it's sad but there's bound to be more this year..
some of y'all wouldn't know sarcasm even if it was close enough to give you monkeypox.
Y’all keep thinking the gun was stolen. He was probably making them ghost guns with his 3D printer and/or using 80% lowers sold in “buy, build, shoot” kits from online retailers. According to the left, ghost guns are the #1 threat, after climate change and misgendering transvestites.
I like Jeff.
He can be a pain in the a-- when you have a case against him.
But you know what? He did the right thing here and someone else screwed it up.
He's gotten tougher over the last couple of years.
"Y’all keep thinking the gun was stolen. He was probably making them ghost guns with his 3D printer and/or using 80% lowers sold in “buy, build, shoot” kits from online retailers."
You are really giving this POS credit and ability to do what you outlined, but then again as another poster stated, Now we won't get a cure for cancer.
KF you really got to get us a sarcasm font.
In these humorless commenter's defense, the line between jokes and reality is unimaginably blurred these days.
Sweet; thanks Karma!!
I think the commenters are confusing Kent McDaniel (retired) and Johnny McDaniels. KMac was Rankin JMac is Hinds. That “bias for the prosecution” could be just bias against criminals. Go KMack. The proof is the pudding.
Jackson releasing raw sewage onto the street again.
Matro crime families exist. Archie is one. Esco is one.
Gun shows have absolutely nothing to do with the thugs stealing guns and using them to kill others. Until the laws are enforced and sentences carried out in a timely manner, it will never stop!!!
