Jackson Homicide Surge Hits 54 | Jackson News

Jackson’s July ended grimly with ten homicides in the final two weeks, pushing the annual total to 54 by month’s end — up from last year’s 43 but still below the 74 recorded by this point in 2024.

In a chilling twist, one suspect, a 17-year-old, is now facing murder and aggravated assault charges for the deaths of two 19-year-olds, Andreanna Cooper and Jeremiah Haggins. Police continue investigating dozens of unsolved cases and urge the public to come forward with tips. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
