Clinton Killing (Updated)

 The Clinton Police Department issued the following statement. 

 Shortly after 11:00 p.m. on Monday, October 20, the Clinton Police Department responded to reports of shots fired at 907 Cedar Hill Drive. Upon arrival, officers discovered a deceased female victim with an apparent gunshot wound.

The incident is believed to be domestic in nature. No suspect is in custody at this time, and the investigation remains ongoing.

The victim’s name will not be released pending family notification. This is the only information available for release at this time.


Update: The Clinton Police Department updated the statement. 


On October 20, 2025, at approximately 10:58 p.m., Clinton Police Department officers responded to reports of a shooting at 907 Cedar Hills Drive in Clinton. Upon arrival, officers discovered Jasmine Singleton (45) deceased on the kitchen floor with multiple gunshot wounds.

Witnesses reported hearing gunfire and observed a gold Chevrolet Tahoe fleeing the scene. Surveillance footage confirmed these accounts. The vehicle was found to be registered to Carlton D. Mack (Black male, 42) — the victim’s ex-boyfriend — who has multiple prior domestic violence arrests.

The suspect vehicle was later located abandoned in Jackson, Mississippi, and recovered by CPD.

Clinton Police are actively seeking Carlton Mack for questioning in connection with this homicide. Anyone with information about his whereabouts is urged to contact the Clinton Police Department at 601-924-5252 or Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477).


Kingfish note: Mack was convicted of aggravated assault in 2007.  He was sentenced to twenty years in prison but fifteen years were suspended.

Clinton is doomed.

A few years ago, Clinton began getting more and more "diverse", as families in Jtown fled their horrible schools. The crime there has gone up since then, noticably. Same song, second verse. Set your clock by it.

Grew up in Clinton. Graduated high school there in 97… the school and the entire area of Clinton has really changed. Sad to see it this way

Mr. Mack needs to handle this himself using the same gun.

Clinton’s decline became seriously noticeable around 2008 when those cheap MC student apartments started filling up with people who probably never made it past junior high school.

Clinton schools were once a great place to recieve an education. Now it’s gone! That’s a real shame and it will be unable to recover

Those suspended sentences are killing us-

Every community in the Jackson metro looks different than it did way back in 1997. Where do you think those tens of thousands of Jackson residents went? Meanwhile, Clinton schools are still performing quite well.

All the Madison and Rankin realtors love this site. Clearly they post on it.

I have lived in Clinton for 18 years. It’s a great community. I love its diversity, which is why the naysayers here hate it. Crime is not a problem compared to any other city of its size. And those who say Clinton schools are failing. The latest rankings prove you wrong. Fourth highest performing district in the state.

Carlton Mack: "If I can't have you nobody can have you."

Do the courts in Mississippi have any interest whatsoever in protecting us from these repeat rabid dogs? Ag Assault is a pretty serious charge to only do five years (less than that counting good time and other breaks violent convicts get).

MS needs to change laws like Florida with Life meaning life & NO PAROLE. Crimes involving 15 yo should be changed to adult as parole is no help to society. Judge Jeanine Pirro talked about how long rap sheets were for these young thugs. Sometimes the judges cannot sentence them due to the laws. This must be addressed !!!

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.
