The suspects in the Brecon Drive armed robbery last week are still at large but JJ has been able to obtain some information on the suspects.
This car was spotted cruising through the same neighborhood last night.
The vehicle is registered to Eddie McGowan. Surprise, surprise, McGowan has a rap sheet and is a graduate of the Hinds County Catch & Release program:
* March 23, 1999: Arrested for armed robbery. A Hinds County grand jury indicted McGowan but no action was taken on the case until it was remanded in 2008.
* 2003: Arrested and indicted for armed robbery, kidnapping, and four counts of house burglary. He pleaded guilty to the house burglary and kidnapping charges in 2004. The Court sentenced him to serve 50 years in prison but suspended 20 years of the sentence. He probably only had to serve 50% of the sentence so he would be free by now.
* July 7, 2003: Aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer. The resolution of the charge is unknown.
* August 2003: Indicted for armed robbery. The Court sentenced him to serve 15 years in prison. He was to serve the sentence concurrently to the other sentences. The crime was probably of the 50% variety.
* May 2022: Arrested for being a felon with a firearm. He has not been indicted.
McGowan is currently free on parole.
JJ reported May 16:
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.

Chief Davis is all over this as soon as he leaves JPD he will give needed info on these fools to the US Marshals! He didn’t want the Mayor angry at him during his retirement party!
This information was made available to JPD investigations at 8:30 this morning. They have not returned the call as if 5:21 this afternoon to obtain the details as if 5:22 today
Driving his own car! Even with criminals that stupid, they can't keep them in jail. SMDH
Boil It!!!
Brecon has quick get-away, especially toward 55, so slow-gate West end with a camera. The gate opens to all, but slowly while camera records each vehicle, front and back. Camera the East end.
Hopefully his next victim gives him what he so richly deserves.
So he was able to catch a new gun charge and bail out while on parole? He definitely doesn’t give a f**k now and is gonna terrorize the town since he’s out and knows he’s about to go back for 5 years. It used to be hard to get out of jail now it’s much harder to get in, much less stay in. Freakin libs
Auntie: "He is working hard to get his life together."
JPD will have this solved any decade now.
It is amazing that JPD can’t publish this but Jackson Jambalaya can! My Madison county property is appreciating.
It's not the cops - it's the abysmal state of the Hinds County judiciary. Why is someone with that record out on parole?
Just because McGowan has a long rap sheet, and it's his car, and looks like him, and probably is him, just because of that, how can you say it might be him? Next you'll be saying Jackson has a crime problem, only a few murders everyday, and everyone's offended, sheeshhh
We owned a business in Jackson 7 years ago. There were several break-ins. There was video footage, but no one was ever caught. To my knowledge, nothing was ever investigated. Crime is much worse now, but it has been a long time since criminals feared being caught in the city of Jackson.
Let him go, he hasn’t been convicted of murder “YET”.
6:50, like you, many many many of us business owners have vacated jackson. If you notice I use lower case j when I reference jackson and will until the correct leadership similar to what was here many years ago returns and rebuilds. With what’s here now it’s not going to happen. Ain’t life good since we left? I know mine is much better now that I don’t have to pay an extortion fee to jps through furniture and fixture/ equipment taxes. What? Did I hurt someone’s feelings? I just really don’t give a damn if I do. I’m just so damn glad to be out of there.
He is just a perception of a career criminal. Right?
C'mon Kingfish! Isn't it obvious? This crime hasn't been solved because the former and/or new JPD Chiefs haven't had an opportunity to bounce their ideas off Lumumba yet.
I am pretty sure Barney Fife from the Andy Griffin show could solve this crime (if anybody in the city cared). On a positive note, in Jackson, there has been a substantial reduction in theft of drinking water.
Good job KF- thank you!
The sooner you realize Chokwe and JPD don’t care about y’all, and it is by design, the sooner you’ll get it. They literally want this and to push y’all out so they can take your houses for a fraction of the cost. It’s planned. The give Zulu Foxtrots about y’all.
Love it when a plan comes together.
So Eddie went on quite the spree circa 2003 then did a little penance. Are we supposed to believe JPD and his parole officer have no idea where he is, cause something about that is really hard to believe. The 35 minutes it took JPD to respond to an armed robbery in progress on Brecon is starting to look sketchy. Is Eddie on Antar’s “Look The Other Way” list? CPD would’ve nabbed them at the scene. So what if there may have been an officer-involved shooting or two. When armed urban terrorists toting automatic assault rifles are committing mayhem with impunity, a little officer-involved shooting is fine by me.
want to bet the car gets reported stolen before JPD can apprehend these thugs
Then no they'll get off .....again
At least they're referred to, now, as hoods, not suspects, since there ARE no suspects.
