Apartment Murder

Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones issued the following statement. 

On Friday, September 9, 2022 at approx. 12:33 PM, a HCSO deputy working an off-duty security detail at 100 Rebelwood Dr., Pine Ridge Gardens Apartments, made contact with a witness that observed a shooting occur in the apartment complex. According to the witness, a black male driving a white Jeep Renegade fired at least a single gunshot from the vehicle striking a black male, later identified as Michael James Stevens-42. 

Stevens was transported to Merit Health (CMMC) by private vehicle where he was pronounced deceased upon arrival from at least a single gunshot wound to the upper torso. The deputy was able to locate the abandoned white Jeep in a nearby area. Further investigation led deputies to the 2700 block of Glenn St. where they were able to detain the suspect, later identified as Denario Nolan-24. Deputies also recovered a stolen .9mm pistol that was believed to be used in the incident. 

The motive for this shooting is unknown and it’s believed that the victim and suspect knew one another. Nolan faces charges of murder and poss. of a stolen weapon. This investigation is ongoing.

".9mm" that's a pretty small round.

What # are we on this year. WLBT isn't tracking Homicides like they were in '20 and '21. I suspect they're compromised.

I think this is 89 or 90.

@5:34 PM,

I’ve noticed the same thing. None of the TV stations are reporting the YTD total any more. I’m thinking the total to date is approaching 100.

5:08 a 9mm is the same as a .357 diameter-wise. Not that small.

9:13, you obviously didn’t catch the period in front of the 9. Yes, 9mm is similar to .357”. But the news release writer doesn’t know the difference between a caliber measurement and a metric measurement. 0.9mm would be tiny.

21. Do not attend a gunfight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with a “4.”

After a while everyone in Jackson will be dead except the Mayor, DA and the Circuit Court Judges. I guess then they will die drinking the water.

And yesterday as I was high tailing it out of Jackson to get away from the trash crime dirty water etc…. , a Jackson city cop pulls me over for going 70 in a 60 on the interstate. I laughed and said dude you just trying to stay alive by spending your day pulling over old white dudes in a pickup. The ticket sets me back financially about as bad as upsizing to a biggee meal. Sad part is he needed to be patrolling in the area of the low income apartments and ho hotels.

According to the WLBT crime stats [1]:

2018: 84 murders
2019: 83 murders
2020: 128 murders
2021: 153 murders
2022: 82 murders thus far in Jackson this year.

2022 is running below 2020 and 2021's rate of murders, but as you can see, 2022 is running above 2018 and 2019's rate of murders. A linear rate of increase says that we will reach 118 murders this year. However, there were only three murders in the last month or so. We may be closer to 95 murders by the year's end.

No matter what number of murders that Jackson has by the end of the year, it is still bad for the victims and their families.

Well 10:31 AM, you're leaving out one key fact.
Your stats are only about officially reported murders.

Additional data on murders in Jackson, MS by year. As you can see, there is some data that I do not have access to. If you know how to get the rest of the data, I would appreciate knowing.

1993: 92 murders (Dale Danks)
1994: 91 murders (Danks)
1995: 84 murders (Danks)
:
:
2006: 40 murders (Melton)
2007: 46 murders (Melton)
2008: 63 murders (Melton)
2009: 37 murders (Melton/Harvey Johnson)
2010: 41 murders (Johnson)
2011: 52 murders (Johnson)
2012: 63 murders (Johnson)
2013: 50 murders (Lumumba Sr.)
2014: 61 murders (Tony Yarber)
2015: 53 murders (Yarber)
2016: 69 murders (Yarber)
2017: 64 murders (Yarber/Chokwe Antar Lumumba)
2018: 84 murders (Lumumba)
2019: 83 murders (Lumumba)
2020: 128 murders (Lumumba)
2021: 153 murders (Lumumba)
2022: 82 murders and counting... (Lumumba)

The murder rate for Dale Danks was 46.8 murders per 100K population.
The murder rate for Chokwe Antar Lumumba Jr. is 99.5 murders per 100K population.

The reason for the difference is that Jackson had a larger population under Mayor Dale Danks.

If you see anything that needs correction, let me know.

Pretty sure Jackson (commander man) quit reporting true crime stats back in 2019. The city doesn’t respond to public document requests and they skew the reporting IF they get around to it (downgrade robberies/violent crimes etc). And before anybody goes and says “they’re required to..” umm. Have you seen the water situation and it’s “secrecy?” The leftover $2m not spent in police funding since 2019 that nobody has bothered to follow up on except KF mentioned it a few months ago. . Not to mention how the big ass super de duper blue light camera system that ties into the new central command system is utterly useless bc the city won’t complete the job. Annnnnnd the courts that don’t keep caught criminals in jail bc they’re following a crap agenda.

@5:34

The wlbt homicide page says 92 but I am certain the are at least 3 behind. I wish they identified each one, even if just by date and location, so it would be easier to verify the data.

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.
