JPD issued the following statement yesterday.
Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting after a body was discovered this morning. It happened just before 9:30 am.
Officers responded to the 1500 block of Breton Street near
Montgomery Street after passerby made the discovery. When they arrived,
officers found a deceased white female and it was later determined that
she had been shot.
The victim appeared to have been there for several hours however,
it is not yet known if the incident occurred at the location where the
victim was found.
The identity of the victim is also not known and there is currently no suspect information or motive.
Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

Kingfish note: #50 or #51, depending on whether one is counting a victim who died this year from an assault that happened two years ago.

Must have been yesterday. This morning just before 9:30 ain't here yet.
Well, since we can't go back and adjust the murder figures from two years ago, we have to put the number at 51 instead of 50. Otherwise that victim never shows in the stats.
According to WJTV her name was Maggie Jones. She was 19 years old. She moved from Texas to Jackson only 6 days prior to her death. It would appear that being unfamiliar with the City led to her suffering a violent end by Jackson's most radical residents.
