JPD tweeted the following statement.
JPD is investigating a shooting from last night in the 1600 block of Oakland Ave. One male was fatally injured and two others were wounded after an exchange of gunfire that occurred just after 10:30pm. A stolen vehicle and several firearms were recovered at the scene. Suspects in the stolen vehicle fired shots into a vehicle at a residence critically wounding a male. Gunfire was returned fatally wounding a second male and injuring a third male. Incident is believed to be retaliation stemming from a prior incident. Charges are pending.
Kingfish note: #71. Already surpassed the homicides during any year of Mayor Yarber's term.

RoboCop was set in 2028. Think Jackson can wait 7 more years?
Most likely a simple misunderstanding
I hope none of the zoo animals were hit by stray bullets.
well, That's 70 YTD, .38 per day or 45 per 100,000 if my math is right. That's pushing 3rd place in the U.S.
next-
The Zoo should be Ok unless they were using rifles. Quite a few churches nearby -- maybe it's not too late to try and save the perps.
I didn't read where anyone succumbed, things must be improving.
10:38??? 45 per 100K sounds about right but what cities are ahead of Jackson???

"fatally wounded" means they succumbed. Scratch 2.
If only Jackson had conflict resolution classes to stop this type of violence. Oh, wait ... it does.
Chokewe's Statement "We as a collective community must come together and have a taskforce of volunteers to organically stop the crime that is invading our neighborhoods as a result of years of oppression and white flight out of our capital city. This gun violence that is plaguing our streets must be fought with a holistic approach that centers around community engagement and opportunistic meeting to resolve these violent situations"
How close am I?
Curfew and National Guard are both required and that’s after SO runs more patrols through all of Jackson daily.
12:26, please stop. I didn't bring my migraine meds to work and just reading what he has said or hearing his voice make me physically ill. Thank you in advance.

3) Birmingham
2) Baltimore
1) St. Louis
are the last ranking I have seen.
Attn 10:38 who are the cities killing at a higher per capita rate than the capitol city of mississsippi who ashamedly reelected an incompetent mayor by historic margins?
Clarion Ledger had another story about 60's civil right era on the front page today.
It's more important to regurgitate other's sins of the past instead of today's atrocities.
Sad.
Projection @ rate = 144 YE (2021) murders in Jackson, Mississippi.
Chokwe Antar Lumumba is the Mayor of Jackson, Mississippi.
okay so is "fatally injured" the same thing as killed?
Asking for a friend !
Top Years for Jackson Murder:
2021 = 144 (Projection @ current rate.)
2020 = 130*
* Chowke Antard Lumumba Yearly Average = 99
1995 = 92
1994 = 91
2018 = 84*
1993 = 84
2019 = 83*
1991 = 76
2008 = 73
1996 = 67
1:37 PM — Those rankings I believe are from 2019 and Jackson didn’t report their 83 murders that would have put us in third nationally. 2020 we appear to have climbed to 2nd! Might make number 1 this year if St. Louis let’s up!!!
Yarber?
