An armed robbery took place last night on Brecon Drive. An elderly couple arrived at home with their two grandchildren only to be greeted by two black males armed with what were probably AK-47 or AR-15-style firearms. The victims said the suspects were dressed in all-black clothing.
The hoodlums took phones and wallets. A magazine and the grandfather's phone were found in the yard. JPD arrived 35 minutes later. The suspects fled on foot.
Update (9:30 AM): A victim posted this update on social media.
Update (1:05 PM): New pic of suspect vehicle.

35 minutes. Dang.
One can get from Byram to County Line Road in eleven minutes...in traffic! There is no excuse for this bullshit.
Good training JPD. At least the police knew they were not going to have to confront the thieves.
crying shame!!
One can walk from precinct 4 to Brecon drive in 10-12 minutes.
Some people are trapped due to financial constraints but if you live in Jackson and can afford to move out you are risking your life and safety.
No big deal
"Leads? I'll just check with the boys down at the crime lab, they've got four more detectives working on the case. They got us working in shifts!"
They ARE animals and I want that bogus apologist to hear it.
Some of these newer houses at end of Breton are over a million dollars and the doctor that did my lasik lives there and these people aren’t looking to leave the area. They have kids at prep JA belong to CCJ or they tennis club
These scholars must have finished exams last wweek and now have free time on their hands.
But this is a "safe" area of Jackson!
I live two streets over and called the police Saturday afternoon after hearing 10 gun shots. I rushed my kids and wife into the house and called 911. The dispatcher answered and could not have cared any less that I called. He got my address WRONG 3 times and then I had to awkwardly end the conversation with “I’m ok, well, I guess that’s all. Bye”. I have had better experiences at fast food restaurants than with this operator. Craziness. The police eventually made a round through the neighborhood. I’d say 20 min later or more. The neighbors on Winchester confirmed that someone unloaded a clip on Brecon.
Another reason the Capitol Police need to take over ALL of Jackson. When is it gonna be enough? The mayor has completely defunded JPD which was his goal.
Like 911 so often, JPD GPS system down and didn't know where Brecon is. JPD had to call Cap PoPo for directions.
And 6:32 probably nailed it.
What do you suburbanites think is going to happen if the rest of us flee Jackson? That there's some magical wall keeping them out of Madison County? Guess again - they're coming for you next.
North Jackson - the final frontier for Jackson criminals, and for the city's administration to finally have eliminated any bastion of common decency from the City of Sewage.
The gooey left longs to talk about defunding police and no jail time for thugs.
Now, you're seeing who suffers for this!
And still they will re-elect the major.
While this crime was going on the soulful congregation of New Hominy Church was having a crime summit on how to reduce crime.
Recall, Impeach, Remove Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba!
Some people are trapped due to financial constraints but if you live in Jackson and can afford to move out you are risking your life and safety.
An argument can be made that even if one feels trapped there is still more financial and personal downside risk to staying that exceeds any economic stretch it would take to leave now while the chance to do so remains a viable option.
@8:17 if they come to my house they are going to get shot. No questions asked.
@8:17am - In Madison the cops will get to your house a lot faster than 35 minutes.
8:17 you've apparently never seen the law enforcement prescence in Rankin and Madison counties. Yes, the thugs may venture out, but they won't make it far. We don't put up with that BS.
While it’s shameful this happened to anyone where was the Capitol Police?
It’s their job to serve and protect.
I guess they are no match for assault weapons either.
It’s time for these spineless legislators to grow some balls.
This crap is happening Statewide thanks to the repugnant
Members of the state legislature that are too busy sodomizing the governor and
The NRA.
You’ll be sorry when it happens to your friends and family.
Knock it off about Cap police. That area is not within the CP's jurisdiction, even under the expanded coverage. It is strictly JPD.
7:39 AM
Nailed it.
Absolutely one of my favorite scenes. LOL everytime I watch the clip.
@8:47 AM, so you are advocating for gun control?
Anyone from the SPLC, ACLU, or NAACP want to explain why they are against 1020 when the Mayor doesn’t bother to get JPD up to the number it’s funded for? How many officers short is JPD? 75 to 100?
How many employees from the organizations above live in Jackson? How many have kids of those that do live in Jackson?
I see WLBT sometimes investigate the city’s nonsense. Do WAPT, WJTV, Clarion Ledger, and the JFP do anything whatsoever? Does the Clarion Ledger even have any employees that live in Jackson?
Who expects anything to change here?
What block was this in?
This happened at 7PM. Daylight. Animals.
If local media doesn’t ask why JPD took over 30 minutes to get there when it’s only a 5 minute drive from Precinct 4 to Brecon Drive then they need to do some serious self reflection.
@8:17 AM - In Madison County we would call Waste Management to pick up the thugs.
8:17, that's such a common, trite position so many of you on the left take.
Almost exclusively, what you ALLOW, you get MORE of. For the last 3+ years, crime has been ALLOWED (in fact, it almost seems to be encouraged) in Jackson, so there is now much MORE of it. Conversely, in the areas that don't allow crime, there is less of it. Get it?
And, another important concept is the distinction between probability and possibility. So often, people state that "well, crime happens everywhere," and while they're technically right, it's all about the probabilities vs the possibilities. While it is POSSIBLE crime will occur in the suburbs, it's not PROBABLE. In Jackson, you're simply weighing the PROBABILITIES.
Cliff Johnson-
do you have criminals in your Water Valley yard?
They should craft a bill that if a city’s crime stats are above a certain %, the city officials are automatically recalled. And the State should have the ability to take over 911 dispatch to have clear overview of the performance of police.
@8:17 There is a magical wall, it is called the jurisdiction of Madison County. Perps understand the difference between Hinds and Madison/Rankin. They understand the risk if caught in those counties versus Hinds. So yes there is a magical wall there, created through the election of good prosecutors and judges along with Mayors that support police departments. That is a tired argument that Madison / Rankin needs Jackson to thrive. The best thing that could happen to Jackson would be the majority of the tax base to leave and push the City into default. Just ask Birmingham.
Unless you're a former Sheriff's son who stabs your wife. Then the judge gives you a sweet deal.
Maybe JPD will come on here and refute the 35 minutes. It should be simple with the call logs. Just because somebody says it was 35 minutes, does not mean it was 35 minutes after the 911 call was made.
Or maybe it was. Waiting on a JPD response......
So the moral of the story is y’all thought crime only happens on the south end.
Is there even a comparison between Jackson and Madison/Rankin counties? Hahaha. Even the biggest “Save Jackson” people moved out a long time ago. I even lol sometimes when someone mentions living in Eastover or JCC. It was nice 30 years ago. It’s a third world country now.
@8:17am at least on Madison county, the judges and DAs actually prosecute and punish criminals. In Hinds, they get low bonds or no bonds, therefore back out committing crimes. Criminals know they just get a slap on the wrist. As far as JPD, they are understaffed considerably. The police chief answers to the mayor and city council and we know what a dumpster fire that is. Capitol police even took some territory from JPD and you have citizens yelling that they are too harsh! The mayor said in his initial campaign that he wanted a radical city. Looks like he got it!
“ What do you suburbanites think is going to happen if the rest of us flee Jackson? That there's some magical wall keeping them out of Madison County? Guess again - they're coming for you next.
May 16, 2023 at 8:17 AM”
We have competent police forces that won’t put up with that
Yeah all of you Madisonites. You're going to shoot someone with a gun pointed at your head? No - you're going to hand the shit over. The police are going to get there sooner? After you were robbed. Keep thinking what you need to to justify your boring neighborhood where all the houses are the same color.
Come on up to Madison. I have 5,000+ rounds of 5.56 with their names on them.
@8:17, I live in Madison, tell your thugs to come on and breach that invisible wall, I got something waiting on them and not afraid to use it. They’ll leave my property feet first.
10:15 - I’m not from Madison but what you clearly don’t understand is that if you’re a criminal that robs someone in Jackson - it’s over when you walk away from the crime; you ere successful. If you do that in a better area, your troubles are only beginning.
[AND] there is Derrick Johnson shopping at the Costco ... in Ridgeland.
Soooo the cameras I read about Chokwe, JPD chief, and Jackson n'hood orgs are preventing what exactly?
Can we all agree to not respond to the 10:15 troll?
No?
Okay.
Crime is only going to get worse in Jackson.
Black flight is leaning Jackson Now.
Blacks are moving to Ridgeland, Madison & Rankin County.
Chokwe Antar Lumumba lives behind a gated community with police protection at his residence.
That tell you everything.
The state needs to raise the selling of guns to 21 years.
Do I have this right? JPD is aware of the modus recency but took 35 minutes to arrive?
@10:47 AM The under 21 year old thugs ARE NOT buying guns. They steal them, either during a residential burglary or from a vehicle owned by a lazy irresponsible gun owner.
Restricting guns is like making it illegal for sober drivers to drive cars to prevent them from being hit by drunk drivers.
It's the thug stupid, not the gun!!!
Because they are going to make a frontal assault on your home while you are sitting there waiting for them fully armed.
People living in Jackson have only themselves to blame for all of the criminal activity. If they wanted something different, they would get it. Instead they continue to protect their thugs. They do not even want cops in other cities chasing their thugs. If you have your heart set on living in Jackson you should know by now what you have to do. Just set there and let the thieves take away everything they might want from you. You have a choice.
how do they not know if its an ak47 or an ar15? they don't even look alike.
Honorary psychologist here. I see a lot of comments coming from very insecure people living in the suburbs. It makes them feel better about themselves because bad things are happening in Jackson. They feel smarter than they really are because they moved out of Jackson or have never lived in Jackson. Very insecure people often enjoy it when bad things happen to other people.
8:49 - How the hell do expect the average person to know the precise boundaries of the Cap PoPo jurisdiction, where Brecon is or whether it's within bounds?
And KNOCK IT OFF about an unrelated ex sheriff's son getting special treatment since it has nothing to do with this situation. No further posts about that or unrelated bull shit will be allowed.
10:15 & 12:50 are butt hurt.. they don't know what else to say.
I’ve still got kids in high school at JA, but I’m not sure we’ll make through the last one.
that neighborhood had private security at one time, too;
@8:54. JPD currently has around 220 officers from the chief down. About 85 of those are patrol officers. Some precincts that have 10-15 beats are covering those with 3-5 officers on some shifts. To say that they are grossly understaffed is an understatement. Most of the officers have fled or retired since Chokwe took office in 2017. The Linder Maple study conducted in 1999 said that JPD needed 600 officers to be effective. I reiterate that that study was conducted in 1999. In 1999-2000, I believe that JPD had around 450 officers.
"how do they not know if its an ak47 or an ar15? they don't even look alike."
May 16, 2023 at 11:46 AM YOU are the F'ing problem!!!!! How damn irrelevant is that? It is a rapid fire assault weapon that nobody has any business with!! You are trying to blame grandparents and their grandchildren for not being able to identify the weapon that is threatening their lives?????? F YOU!
I am thinking about running for Mayor of Jackson.
11:46. When you’re looking down the business end, they all look alike. For you volunteer victims…no one in Rankin or Madison Counties thinks they are immune to this. The HUGE difference is that if it did occur in one of these counties, law enforcement would be going 24/7 until the perps were caught. Someone above made mention that these maggots had been doing this on a regular basis. This wouldn’t happen in Rankin/Madison.
Keep pulling that Democrat lever.
May 16, 2023 at 8:24 AM
If only Mississippi had recall Statutory law.
About 10 years ago my elderly neighbor whom I often visited had a 38 revolver next to his chair. I never understood why? Now I know!
I never leave home without a loaded gun! When I travel I have two pistols and a box of ammunition. My wife always asks before we leave home, do I have glory( my gun).
It’s sad that we have to live this way, but no one will harm us and live to go to thru a revolving door! They will be going to glory!
May 16, 2023 at 10:47 AM
No I'm not for blatantly unconstutional law. I'm not a Democrat. How about actually enforcing the law as written. Put habitual offenders behnind bars and give violent felons caught with guns long sentences. Or better yet just take them north of Canton and make a mass grave for Jackson's finest.
Calling 911 in Jackson will not get you to the Capital Police dispatch, even if you are in the Capitol Police district. It goes to the Jackson Police, and as I understand, there is no communication between 911 dispatchers and the Capitol Police. You need to have the number for Capitol Police if you are in the Capitol Police District. 601-359-3125.
Idiots, the Jxn mayor won by a landslide, he wouldn't be recalled, even if it was legal. The majority of Jxn voters want soft on crime and poor city services, that's what they want, you need to understand and accept that.
For those of you hating on JPD , you must not know most of CP came from JPD. Only now they are allowed to do the job and have leadership stand behind them.
With JPd there is a failure at the top and due to this
, a complete failure in the communications dept, aka dispatch. Officers can generaly arrive 5 min, or less once THEY recieve the call. It's unfortunate that like patrol , dispatch is very short. A call may be held up to 30-45 min before an Officer is dispatched. The call volume at JPD is a multitude higher than any other agency in the state.
It is the right and responsibility of every citizen to protect themselves. The preferred way to do this is through a competent police force and judicial system. When that fails, it fall on us to protect ourselves. Police are by nature reactionary to violent crime. They cannot know when a crime is gong to occur and cannot intercede. The police investigate and arrest those responsible, and the courts convict and incarcerate, thus deterring those who commit these crimes. There will always be members of society who prey on others and to whom there is no deterrent that will prevent that. Situational awareness, preparation, and training are the only way to ensure your safety.
The goal of Marxist fools like Chowke and his ilk is to eliminate the middle class. You can learn more by watching Victor Davis Hanson's youtube videos. I see one example of this in the Metro Area - out-of-state corporations buying up dozens of homes and making them rentals.
At one time, struggling to be relevant, Stokes was the literal king of renaming streets. Can he order a few big green signs and post them at every entrance to 'Jackson' with the lettering reading, "Now Entering RNA"?
It is time to start fighting back. Arm yourselves. Safety off. Shoot to kill. These animals don't deserve to live. Evil exists, and some people deserve to be shot down like the vermin they are.
