Drive-By Downtown

There was a drive-by shooting that took place in downtown Jackson. A man in another vehicle shot up an Infiniti vehicle near High Street, wounding the male driver and female passenger. The Infinit came to a stop at the intersection of Capitol and Lamar streets. Witnesses said there were bullet holes in the windshield.  Pictures of the crime scene and victim are posted below.  More information will be posted when available.

The man lying against the SUV is the victim but he is alive.

I worked in Jackson for 30 years. I moved to Madison. I only go to Jackson for medical appointments now.

The BOLD NEW CITY!!!!!

Raised in Jackson said...

But this isn't the City With Soul PoPo's turf...remember, this is the Kapitol Kops responsibility. Seriously, This is so out of control. Maybe we need to get some consultants from the Mayor's list to sort this out.

One block from the governor's mansion; three blocks from JPD. Will THIS be the straw...?

It looks like the Capitol Police are on site now, so I hope that means that they are going to do more than just give lip service...

Yikes! We don’t have this problem in Flowood!

Will this be the straw? Hell nawwww. Lumumba wont even mention it I bet. He doesn't give a shit about this city. He only wants to peddle his agenda and party in DC and Atlanta. He is using the City of Jackson and it's people to further his political career and the city and it's people are too ignorant to see it.

The Cold Hard TRUTH said...

JACKSON homeowners still on fence about selling:

✓ Jackson will continue to decline rapidly as long as Lumumba is in office.

✓ If it works, Lumumba intends to break it.

✓ Lumumba has de facto defunded JPD via incompetence, micro-management, indifference, lip service and his familial anti-police philosophy.

✓ RECORD murder rates, running thug gun battles in broad daylight becoming the norm. CREDIBLE MESSENGERS get Rukia paid BUT ARE A JOKE!

✓ Highest property tax rates in the metro by a mile!

✓ Belhaven CID won't do jack shit to curb crime. Cameras are a joke and won't stop you from being mugged, robbed or shot.

✓ Jackson infrastructure is cratering. Surface sewage happening everywhere, boiled water, NO water, rampant illegal dumping, the list goes on and on.

✓ Hinds County BOS nothing short of lunatics run amok.

✓ Hinds County judicial system a complete disaster. Catch and release, Jermaine Darnell White, catch and release, Jermaine Darnell White.

✓ New HindsCo jail will take YEARS to build and become operational.

✓ Fed has no choice but to jack up interest rates to tame inflation.

✓ Higher interest rates reduces your pool of potential buyers.

✓ Increasing transition of Jackson housing to rental stock only exacerbates YOUR neighborhood instability.

✓ Fed interventions (Hinds jail, Jackson water & sewer) will FORCE MASSSIVE property tax and rate increases upon you over which you'll have no say and control; property values will only decline further.

✓ Your days to quickly sell your house and get out of Jackson are dwindling.

✓ If you don't get out now, you may never get out or may get out with comparatively NOTHING.

WHAT IN THE WORLD ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

1:54. I doubt Mr Reeves actually lives in the mansion.

JPD HQ? not much they can do in a city where criminals have been given a free pass

Please stop complaining. You watched as the Mayor defunded the police. the cops were the only citizens who said anything. They have moved and/or resigned from JPD. Thanks Mayor.

Btw, where is the money from
Settlement to fix these pipes? Just sick of you and your stealing administration and sister. The frustration is real. Wait til you see what else he has up his sleeve for the City before he rides east…

154, no, its not the Kapitol Kops responsibility. It is the responsibility of JPD. The KK can provide assistance ---- at this point. But as the second 1:54 notes, this might be the straw ..... and it will become the Capitol Police's responbility.

Hopefully.

The shooting happened very close to the Woolfolk Building on Lamar. The white car drove to Capital before the driver passed out. The shooters car was last seen on Monument street.

that's the end of downtown. most of the world thought the violence was only during nights and weekends. MOVE YOUR BUSINESSES NOW. your employees will be shot on their lunch break.

Looks like downtown is well landscaped. That's one good thing.

Obviously one more of the results of poverty and lack of opportunity. Neither shooter had a Mercedes or Cadillac. Poverty IS violence.

@4:15

Responsible business owners moved out years ago. I moved my business out 20 years ago when an employee was mugged in the parking garage. Writing on the wall was very clear, even then. I can’t imagine why someone would still have their business there today.

Pearl PD and MHP were in pursuit of a vehicle on State Street around 4:30 today. Looks like someone thought they’d be safe in Jackson.

Mayor Lumumba believes every area of Jackson should share in the crime and violence ... he calls it equity.

Crickets from Belhaven, Eastover, and Fondren. They can't even muster 1000 people to protest in front of city hall or the mayor's house. Pathetic.

Chuck has got to go. We need a real leader to deal with this crime. Hate to tell you, these crimes will never hug it out. We need some black ops to get this under control. There is no fear by the criminals.

Anonymous said...

Just curious. Does anyone know how many of the homicides last year were solved?

Anonymous said...

Spending $10 million to change the streets to two way traffic caused this. Keep these mongrels at least a block away from each other. Those little traffic circles are just too close for modern weapons.

The photos are worthless, meaningless. The 'video', if you can call it that, is even worse - four seconds of nothing. Typical shit from Kingfish.

How so and why? Do you really think a governor or legislative body has the authority to over-take a municipality?

6:24 Well - The State can take over failing school districts. When there is rampant civil unrest, YES The Governor/State can take control.

When you have time, cite your reference for that (incorrect) opinion.

Well...if you decide everyone is entitled to both own a gun and open carry despite being mentally ill/impaired or having a history of criminal behavior or domestic abuse, why are you surprised?

In that same area on the weekend while getting something from the office, I saw a man in pajama bottoms talking to himself or the voices he was hearing with a holstered gun on his hip. He walked up to several buildings and just stood staring.
You made politics all about individual "rights" without thought to consequences, individual responsibilities or practical guidelines. Worse, you've elected people clearly displaying symptoms of dysfunctional mental disorders to office. This is what you get!

Calm down and read a book on Abnormal Behaviors instead of polluting your brains with political drivel so you can,at least recognize "crazy" and "dangerous"!

9:40 is right.

We should definitely limit the right to own guns.
We should also make murder a crime.

It its illegal, it will stop...right?

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.
