A 17 year-old man showed up at UMMC this morning with a gunshot wound before succumbing to his injuries.
Coincidentally, a homeowner shot a young black male who was up to no good at his home on East Northside Drive.. The ski mask-wearing suspect rifled through his vehicle before advancing towards the house while carrying an AR-15 style firearm and 30-round mags.
The homeowner shot him through the window.
JPD is investigating whether the two incidents are related. Law enforcement sources said the homeowner fully cooperated with police.

Can’t fix stupid
One sure way to avoid a blessing.
Very glad this POS is off the streets for good. Great job home owner!
Center mass.
Next
F’d around and found out.
neither AR15's nor 30 round mags are illegal to possess in mississippi.
Criminals that succumb are blessings to the victims and the taxpayers.
He was "marked for evidence" by the resident.
Whoa, shot him thru the window as in he was outside. I assume he called 911 before he shot. Still needs to be some solid investigating here.
Homeowner should receive free water for life after making such a positive contribution to Jackson.
I wonder if anyone has ever gotten a call that JPD has acquired their stolen firearm. I’m betting there are racks of stolen firearms just sitting there with no notice being given. If not just put back out on the street.
"neither AR15's nor 30 round mags are illegal to possess in mississippi."
both are illegal to possess in Mississippi, under the given circumstances.
your attempt to ignore those circumstances notwithstanding
Who's going to fix the glass in the window the homeowner shot out of?
17 year old risked & lost his life for a fistful of money.
Anyone know how many killings/homicides there have been in Jackson so far in 2023 ? This one sounds like self-defense and not a "murder", but I would include it in the definition. Or maybe I should say homicides.
Wonder if this was the same POS that stole a car near Boling St a couple of weeks ago wearing a ski mask and toting a rifle? I hope so. Funny how that story didn't make the local news.

If I see someone breaking into my vehicle while it's at my home and I then see them walking toward my home with a weapon ( notice I said weapon and not gun) I am going to do what I can to "eliminate" the threat to me and my property.
The neighborhood is safer today than it was yesterday.
3:54 Assuming 911 answered?
This is actually going to be a tough one (I am not a lawyer, have any legitimate legal opinion, and know enough to be dangerous). That being said castle doctrine is all about eliminating an imminent threat to yourself or others. I am not sure you could make the leap someone breaking into a car outside and walking TOWARD your home brandishing a weapon is justifiable homicide.......
I mean it is JUSTIFIABLE on a personal level
but legally is it JUSTIFIABLE
iffy........
Nice shot!
(Writes thank you note to the Homeowner)
I hope the homeowner isn’t indicted. It wouldn’t surprise me in criminal friendly Hinds Co. If he is indicted, he’d better hope he goes before one of the appointed judges, and not one of the elected ones. I wouldn’t be surprised if Antar isn’t on the news classifying this as an assassination of one of Jackson’s youths.
I hope the homeowner is not charged, but as stated...this is Jackson.
I served on a jury there many moons ago and based on the unbelievable low IQ of many jurors, I was happy to move. That was not a jury of my peers. And I would never want to be on the receiving end of what they called justice.
It was exhausting trying to explain the most basic of common sense concepts to jurors. Truly eye-opening.
All yakety-yak aside, as ex-spokesperson for JPD and perennial candidate for Hinds County Sheriff once said: “the victim is deceased at the present time “.
Gun show just yesterday in Jackson. Bound to be a correlation.
Castle doctrine means you have no responsibility to evade or wait until you call police.
It’s a license for the law abiding to legally execute dangerous predators as they would a charging grizzly.
The homeowner defended himself with his trusty Marlin 30-30
A far superior weapon to that aluminum POS mockery
Guy got forty years across the border and the victim was exiting thru a window with gun in hand.
@4:49 - You're not only NOT a lawyer, you're also unable to read and interpret written law.
A person committing a crime (already) on your property and with a weapon in hand, advancing toward your house, and YOU, can be 'forcefully dispatched (shot), at will. No need to wait for the shattering of glass or the splintering of a door.
Not to throw cold water on this but the homeowner was not in immediate danger. The perp was walking toward the home but was he pointing the gun at the homeowner? Legally he should have called 911 before shooting the kid. If the kid did point the gun he then could have shot because he was then under imminent threat of death or great bodily harm
The totally stupid is flowing deep tonight!
All you gun rights experts better have video cameras. That’s all I’ve got to say. This is not the county for he said she said. A lethal pistol shot through a window is more than a little suspect.
7:17 - If an knucklehead is trespassing on your property while carrying a semi-automatic weapon, they are an immediate danger. To suggest otherwise is nonsense. Do you think they were there to sell Girl Scout cookies or proclaim the Gospel? This animal was no doubt not a rocket scientist, but he had enough street tact to know he would likely encounter someone who was armed. That's why he was packing himself.
Shoot first, ask questions later. Works 100% of the time, every time. Good riddance.
I wonder if he was one of the teens from the Berlin incident on Thursday night.
Meanwhile in Madison County my dog and I are walking safely.
If you have the money - get the hell out of Jackson.
The biggest problems in this whole scenario are (a) the homeowner, as a result of residing on East Northside Drive, is likely to be looked upon with a jaundiced eye by the Jackson "legal system," and (b) should said "legal system" see fit to indict the homeowner, he will be tried by a jury of the decedent's peers. In today's world, that's not a position in which you want to find yourself.
Same fact pattern happened in NW Jackson right after castle doctrine passed.
Elderly black male home owner was at his kitchen sink over looking car in covered car port.
Juvenile was seen rifling through elderly man’s car.
Elderly man points weapon at juvenile in car and blows juvenile away.
Not a single charge filed against home owner.
No criminal charges will be filed here.
17-year old man? He was a minor by every definition.
What a load of biased horseshit!
Don’t be a thug if you can’t take a slug. I guess it’s not as fun as the rap music says it is.
6;56 - Had he not succumbed, he would be tried as an adult. Would you then refer to him as a child?
I remember the NW Jackson incident and was surprised there were no charges given what was reported about that incident. The Northside Drive shooting sounds like there is a much better case for imminent harm.

Hey retard, the homeowner's vehicle is an extension of his home! So, it didn't matter if he was inside the physical structure or outside, he played a stupid game, an won a stupid prize!
@6:58
If there was a singular interpretation of written law, there would be no need for for the most part for:
1. lawyers
2. the court system
3. juries
It is my understanding the law is based on and argued in court largely on what is reasonable
I am no lawyer but the argument is going to come out if this guys actions were reasonable. You can haughtily say that I can't interpret written law all you want, but it will be decided by 12.
Crimes § 97-3-15. Justifiable homicide
(e) When committed by any person in resisting any attempt unlawfully to kill such person or to commit any felony upon him, or upon or in any dwelling, in any occupied vehicle, in any place of business, in any place of employment or in the immediate premises thereof in which such person shall be;
(f) When committed in the lawful defense of one's own person or any other human being, where there shall be reasonable ground to apprehend a design to commit a felony or to do some great personal injury, and there shall be imminent danger of such design being accomplished;
Homeowner will and did just fine.
"He saw me through the window, pointed at me and was coming straight toward me with that weapon in his hand!"
Only down side I see is that this elderly gent is now going to be the target of driveby's. Bet some would say he couldn't return fire. Guess again.
"Shoot first, ask questions later. Works 100% of the time, every time. Good riddance."
Or, as I learned it as a youngster: "Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6"
Deeply disturbed am I over this youngster being blown away by some gun-happy old man. And now I think I’ll run go make a sandwich.
Homeowner needs to sight in his scope if yute didn’t fall dead in driveway.

Please tell me how these are illegal, not withstanding your stupid opinion.
If they were "illegal" as you rant about, then why can I drive 2.5 miles to a well know sporting goods store and of all things, there are AR-15 sitting on the shelves out in the "OPEN" with LEO's there buying guns & ammo. Illegal??
Now go ahead and prove just how little you know......go ahead we're waiting!!
I don't know about 30-round mags, but I do know AR-15s are not unlawful to purchase, display for sale or own in Mississippi. I shopped for one Saturday.
The homeowner is completely justified in this shooting pee Castle Doctrine law. You have a right as a homeowner to protect yourself even if someone is outside your home stealing your property because per Castle D your property is an extension of your home.
@ February 27, 2023 at 4:19 PM
Speaking of stupid. When you choose to insult another, you come off like a DB when you display such ignorance.
It is illegal to possess a firearm while in commission of said crime. Just like everything else in life and law, EVERYTHING has to be taken into account. Please see the bold portion below from the comment you ignorantly attacked.
...both are illegal to possess in Mississippi, under the given circumstances....
@8:40
that's exactly right, and to say that this guy won't be charged is an interesting thought. I can recall when I took the CCW course to get a permit, the instructor very plainly said.
"when defending yourself, if the attacker is down do not go over there and finish him off, because at that point it has escalated from self defense to murder"
So borrowing from that concept how could you fire at someone who hasn't technically aggressed towards you "yet"? and that NOT BE considered murder?
I hope the guy isn't charged and I agree with his actions, but again......iffy
Could the shooter's defense be that he shot at the perpetrator to scare him off but he missed.
