The city of Pearl issued the following statement.
An
attempted traffic stop led to a short pursuit by Pearl Police that
ended
with the suspect crashing his vehicle in a wooded area south of the
city. The driver died from injuries sustained in the one-vehicle crash.
A
Pearl officer attempted to stop a 2005 tan Lincoln Town Car at 5:24
a.m. for speeding on Pearson Rd. near the intersection of Old Whitfield
Rd. The driver, Akeem Jihad
Carson, 30 of Canton, did not stop and continued at a high rate of
speed onto South Pearson Rd. towards Richland.
Three
minutes later at 5:27 a.m., Carson lost control of his vehicle and
crashed into a wooded area at the intersection of South Pearson and
Monterey Rd. Richland Firefighters
responded and had to extricate Carson from the vehicle. He was
transported by Pafford Ambulance to the University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jackson where he died.
Carson
had active arrest warrants from the Mississippi Department of
Corrections for parole violations and from Forrest County for possession
of a weapon by a convicted
felon.
Carson’s criminal history shows convictions for burglary and grand larceny.

He died loving what he was doing--running from the law.
Awe hell, here we go!!
Another young man with a bright future murdered by the cops while trying to go to work and provide for his wife and kids. Just terrible.
3:15, no worries. It happened in Rankin County. And if the murders in Jackson don't stir up mass gatherings, this dudes demise won't cause a ripple in the Pearl.
Where's Carlos?
I fail to see how this mans death, while unfortunate, could stir up any controversy. As I read it, he did in a car accident in a vehicle that presumably, he was driving.
By the stupid he lived. By the stupid he died.
That section of Pearl is an extension of South Jackson. You should see the cars that haul ass on I20 and get off on Pearson and turn right. The police know it too. That apartment complex is where most of the wanted hole up.
Jihad is/was his middle name... seriously? He was born just after Desert Shield and possibly Desert Storm began. Somebody ought to check up on his momma and baby daddy if they are still alive. They could be professional haters!
YAWN . . . . . .
Glad no one else was injured.
That's how you get away from the police.
Was he headed to Miss College or UMC or Millsaps to register for a degree in divinity or medicine when he was hounded by the law dogs? ;-)

Some day Boy you gonna quit blinkin' if you keep on drivin' that hot rod Lincoln.

I always heard the lyrics as:
Son, you're gonna' drive me to drinkin'
If you don't stop drivin' that Hot Rod Lincoln.
He didn't get the "play stupid games, win stupid prizes" memo.
At least we don't have to pay 75K/annually to incarcerate him for the next 20 years.
Headline should be, "Local hero does his part to prevent prison overcrowding"
Thankfully the police officers are safe that all that matters in this case.
Styx, Renegade, would have been a good one, also.

What are you talking about? Nothing, as usual. If you think for a second that the State of Mississippi isn’t profiting off prisoners then, most likely, you’re still writing letters to the North Pole.
Nothing in this world is free.
I bet he was about to start college.
