Crime Update: Barbershop Murder, Baby Shot

JPD issued the following statements about three separate incidents.

(#1) Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred in the 1200 block of Buchanan Street.  It happened just before 11:30 am this morning.


Officers responded to the Chosen Juan Hair Studio regarding a gunshot victim. When officers arrived, they found a black male inside suffering from multiple injuries.  The victim was later pronounced deceased at the scene. 

Officers learned from individuals inside that the shooting resulted from a verbal altercation between the victim and a second male only known as “Red.”  After shots were heard, Red was seen fleeing to a dark colored 4-door sedan which left the scene. 

The suspect is described as a light complexioned black male, approximately 6 feet tall, possibly traveling in a Nissan Maxima. 

The victim has since been identified as 35 year-old, Richard Helom, Jr. 

Investigators are still working to gain an identity on the suspect.  Anyone with information about this shooting or the identity of “Red” is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477). 

(#2) Jackson Police are investigating a shooting after an infant child with a gunshot wound arrived at a local hospital.


Just before 10:30 pm this evening (12/23/18), officers responded to the hospital where the infant male had been brought by private vehicle.  Officers learned from the mother that the infant had been shot while at a residence located in the 3200 block of Downing Street.  The infant suffered a gunshot wound to the abdomen and was taken into surgery.  His condition is listed as stable.

Officers traveled to the residence and found the location inside where the shooting is believed to have occurred.  Others were present at the residence and at least one male is being detained for questioning. 


It is not clear what led to the infant being shot however, the individual being detained could be facing charges.  His name is not yet being released.

(#3) Jackson Police are investigating a business robbery that occurred in the 3100 block of West Capitol Street at the Family Dollar. It happened just after 6:30 pm this evening.(12/23/2018)

Officers responded to the location to learn that a black male, dressed in what appeared to be a security officer uniform, entered the store and displayed a handgun while demanding money. The suspect took a register drawer containing cash before fleeing on foot.

No injuries were reported during the robbery. Store surveillance did capture images of the suspect, who still remains at-large.

Anyone who recognizes the suspect or has information about this incident is asked to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

This investigation is ongoing.

If I had a dollar for every Family Dollar that’s been robbed, I could buy myself a Family Dollar.

@6:13 AM, exactly. Shooting babies seems to be a weekly event in that cesspool. These perps have no moral compass.

Prayer Ain't Workin' said...

Nothing against the practice of prayer, but I'm rather tired of listening to people tell me to 'pray for Jackson'. At what point do we expect the citizens of Jackson (Black, white and brown) to step up and demand that action be taken to put a stop to this madness?

And at what point can we tell those who call us racist for having that concern to go to hell?

Any time a white person voices concern he's a racist. If a white person makes a suggestion or demands community action, he's a racist. If we criticize the school system or city government, we're racist. If we don't do a damned thing but avoid the city, we're racist.

@8:48 AM - The "race card" is the only card they are holding. A large supply of these cards were provided by Obama, Sharpton, Jackson, et al. These cards have infected multiple generations of people who won't accept any responsibility for their actions/poor decisions/race baiting, racial finger pointing, etc.

Like an alcoholic, Jackson won't be resurrected until it hits rock bottom, just like Detroit went through.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
