The murder victim in the St. Paddy's shooting was himself charged with capital murder over a year ago.
JPD arrested Cortez George in June 2024 and charged him with capital murder and aggravated assault in the shooting death of local DJ Anthony Davis at the intersection of North State Street and Cedars of Lebanon in January 2024.
Davis had the tragic misfortune of being an innocent bystander as several individuals in two vehicles shot at each other. The shooters all managed to miss each other but a stray bullet killed Davis.
JPD also charged George with aggravated assault as he allegedly shot a man at a gas station on Ellis Avenue on January 27, 2024.
Hinds County Court Judge Johnny McDaniels dismissed the charges against George at his preliminary hearing in August. The Court held there was no probable cause to charge George. Attorney Shaun Yurtkuran represented George
An unknown suspect shot George to death several hours after the St. Paddy's Day Parade by the 4th Avenue bar on Pearl and Lamar Streets.
Kingfish note: George might have been innocent of murder but the old adage is true. Lay down with dogs and you get fleas. In this case, very deadly fleas.

Well darn
8 people shot, 1 killed! At what point do we stop tip-toeing around the facts and truth? I can hear and feel the anger and frustration in the Sheriffs words, and he came close to stating the truth. Law enforcement can not correct the broken segment of our society. The thug, punk gangsta lifestyle that some chose to live is causing so much damage to society as a whole. Only when the truth is stated and confronted, can we begin to attempt to correct this. If 8 people shot isn’t enough, what is?
Payback’s hell…
"The Chief said JPD received calls about "schoolyard fights" that took place in Thalia Mara Hall parking lot. The fights were streamed. Chief mentioned girls were fighting girls and boys were fighting girls. Wigs and hairpieces populated the concrete. Everyone fled when police arrived. "
Mission accomplished?
I mean, maybe in some other cities some of the perpetrators might have been arrested by the police?
At some point no arrests sends the wrong message.
Unless the intended message to the criminals is that JPD won't do jack about assaults and other criminal behaviors.
In that case, the message no doubt was received by the perps.
saved the county and the state some money - this one's on Jody
These innocent yoots were only parroting what they were taught at home by the single mothers who were 17 years older. Or rather what they were NOT taught at home.
Criminal culture. All those people involved and several people shot and many others fleeing the scene and yet no one will identify the shooters. They know who did this. Yet they will not talk to the police even if one of their friends lay dead. Worship of the criminal lifestyle.
Attorney Shaun Yurtkuran represented George.
What an interesting juxtaposition.
Hope he wasn't on a payment plan.
JPD is so infested with local boys that no friends and family will be arrested. Many thanks to that now expired federal consent decree. We were only under it for 30 years!!
The breakdown of the family unit is evident in Jackson
@6:00 ALL of them are on Jody.... Maybe he scared to actually prosecute them because he will soon be spending time with them.
This was not a well planned hit by Barzini on Don Corleone.
Pookie was pissed at Cortez about some nonsense, and the common sound of automatic gunfire erupted (as usual) in Jackson.
George should have been in jail since last year!
The most frustrating thing to me is the lack of marksmanship. Can a mentor group not teach basic street marksmanship for inner city youth?
So it appears the good Judge who dismissed the case was the former executive director of the Henley Young youth detention center. How about that.
Actually, no. The JPD officer testified he arrested him because he heard it from someone who - ready for this? - heard it from someone else he was involved in the murder. McDaniels said it was one of the most egregious things he'd ever seen on the bench.
Aaaaaannnnddddd that's the reason the Capital Police came into existence.
The nightclubs downtown are the issue. Plus Capitol police did nothing or couldn’t be found while 20 off road 4 wheelers drove around the streets of downtown Jackson after the parade. It was a free for all. No law enforcement even in sight
WLBT reporting tonight making Cap Police look pretty bad.
Other than the shootings, how was the parade Mrs. Lincoln?
Great it worked out like this for him as he is no longer a drain on society.
Sure wish it worked like this all of the time.
The white Democrats (propping up grifters like Chokwe) that get to insulate themselves by living behind gates and/or in the suburbs would also be victims of the heinous crimes being committed…instead of just the poor children that are stuck in crime infested Democrat cities like Jackson.
The majority of college educated women that support DEI (since it gives them a better chance of getting a job they couldn’t otherwise get) would be forced to use DEI’ers when it comes to taking care of their families (would love to see how long this would last).
Things would be changing rather quickly if white liberal Democrats had to live with the consequences of supporting grifter Democrats that destroy American cities with crime and chaos.
So no great loss, right?
I lived during a time when guys that were not smart at all got the jobs that women were far more qualified to do.
I would hope you aren't against the best candidate for a job getting it? I would hope you know smart is between the ears, not the legs.
Upper body muscle mass and massive egos are fine for boxers and linebackers but not so much to find cures for disease or problem solving in general.
What's completely sad is the kids now a days are not grounded in good character. Actions that prmote the betterment of family community & church. This sound stupid to most but that how the Amish live and the murder rate is zero. in their community. Duh! there's your answer boys strong familt upbringing.
One of the other seven people shot was one of the other four people arrested for the murder of the DJ.
Still say Lumumba is going back in. He'll fix this.
You should poke around a bit on the complete shitshow that happened outside the ER at UMMC after they brought "victims" there. Family/friends/associates showed up and commenced to arguing, ending in group pepper spray!

Unbelievable!
All this over the price of eggs? Sheesh!
Karma can be a bitch!
@10:14. I talked to a fellow LEO friend that was there. He said it was a complete mess at UMMC…but it usually is in those situations when family and friends show up for “support.”
