Three Murders Last Night

JPD issued the following statements. 


(#1) Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that occurred last Friday evening in the 700 block of Natchez Railroad Avenue.  It happened just before 12:00 am.

Officers responded to a residence where they found a black male lying just outside the front entrance.  He was pronounced deceased at the scene after suffering from multiple gunshot wounds.

Officers later learned that an altercation had occurred between the victim and a male resident just prior to the shooting.  The suspect then fled the location in a tan colored sedan.

The victim has since been identified as 29 year-old, Emanuel Chapman.

The suspect is known and investigators are working to verify his identity.  An arrest warrant is pending.

This investigation is ongoing.

(#2)   Jackson Police are investigating a fatal shooting that resulted in the death of two victims.  It occurred on Garner Street just before 12:00 am this morning.

Officers responded to a residence located in the 300 block where they found a deceased black male lying just outside with a chest wound.  A second black male was found inside the residence, also suffering from a chest wound.  He was transported to an area hospital where he later succumbed to injury.

The victims have since been identified as, 57 year-old, Roger Chapman and 68 year-old, Roy Fitzgerald.
 
Little information is known about what took place but investigators believed that robbery was the motive and that the victims may have known the suspect.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS(8477).

Sounds like the problem solved itself. And it will repeat again tomorrow. Let's just pray an innocent child or someone's mother doesn't die in the crossfire.

Lawlessness has reached a catastrophic level in this country. Now, all we hear is "prison reform".

I just carry a weapon in my pocket and a long gun in my car these days.

Whatever.

Prison reform hastens the reckoning. We need to get it over with. The history of civil strife will repeat. The test of our experiment will be what sort of nation emerges from the next rubble.

Where is the uproar - media like what has been reported on the Prison System?

Their aim is getting better. Must be all those Youtubers like Paul Harrell training people how to shoot.

Jackson was doing so well, I think only 2 murders in January.

The Chapman family is suffering today, assuming these victims were related.

However, Jackson didn't appear to make the list of highest murder rates in America

For those complaining about prison reform, who would you rather have incarcerated - a murderer or an addict? I haven’t heard anyone preaching shorter sentences for murder. Also, there is plenty of uproar for gun reform, education, and mental health funding which seem like the paths to make the greatest difference long term in the murder rate. Unfortunately, the GOP won’t move on any of those so we are left with the status quo.

This is tragic. Just tragic.

Even more tragic - we can not discuss the problem, identify the root causes
or point out the pathetic disregard for the value of life due to political correctness.
We’ve all been lulled into acceptance and threatened into silence. Therefore, the carnage continues.
End every newscast with the faces of the current year’s victims. Avoiding reality will not stop this senseless killing.

NAW! Not in the BOLD New city!

What??? You mean none of these people had the phone number of one of the mayor's 'credible messengers' to resolve these interpersonal relationships?

@10:38 AM - that list is from....wait for it.....2018, but thanks, Bevis.

It would appear that in each case the suspects have been inadvertently splashed with peepee poopoo water from a sewage filled pothole.

The suspects then followed the victims home in a rage. Anger, fueled by their soiled urban wear, they proceeded to confront the victims.

Without adequate conflict resolution, a gunbattle ensued and the lesser marksman met his demise.

If you live in THE BOLD NEW CITY, you better have a weapon at hand at all times. Human life has no value on the mean streets of this third world mid-sized city. But........... NOBODY really cares, do they.

10:38, Jackson's 2019 murder rate of 51 per 100,000 matches the #2 city for 2018, which was Baltimore. In 2018, Detroit was #3 with 38, so it wasn't even a close 3rd place. I presume Jackson isn't on the list because the city refused to release its statistics in its fight against the perception of crime.

And yet we continue to fail to point the finger at the culprits. It is not going to get better. It is a culture in gross decline.

According to MDOC, there are currently 40 inmates on Death Row in MS, and the last execution was in 2012. Hopefully AG Fitch will crank up whatever method of killing these animal, save us taxpayers millions annually, and create a like number of vacancies.

Wait, the invasion of privacy, tax payer funded cameras did not prevent these culture based crimes?

11:57 u r right on.
I’ve always heard one has to acknowledge the problem before the problem can b addressed. Our society is restricted in addressing our criminal problem because of political correctness. The media is complicit in this problem. Does the media not know that the first amendment will be gone if this country falls? Has the media not studied history to c that tyrants want a disarmed society to make it defenseless? Destroying the second amendment will certainly lead to the destruction of the first, as well as all the others. As long as the truth is masked by political correctness & our society is unable to address the issue, our society will continue on this destructive path.

If you are having a picnic or maybe visiting friends for a game of trivial pursuit on Garner Street, I would think the odds of getting killed there are far higher than the odds of getting killed while on an extended stay in Parchman. Admittedly, I have not run the math.

You can't make this shit up said...

"Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba is looking for innovative ways to deal with crime in the Capital City.

The Mayor discussed water theft and the investigation that has led to multiple arrests including some city employees.

He also tells us about his hopes for a Credible Messenger Program and how it may deescalate volatile and dangerous situations."

Mayor Lumumba said, “You have to make certain that you are educating people, that they know, cause they’re going into extremely dangerous circumstances, not high risk circumstances, the highest risk of circumstances in order to deescalate those things, deescalate those conflicts. And so we’ve been working to get them there and we’re proud of the progress."

We’re doing what we can, but we have not received any support on this."

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.
