On December 1, 2025, authorities in Jackson, Mississippi, launched a homicide investigation following a violent incident in the city's second precinct. Officers from the Jackson Police Department responded to a call on the 200 block of Sollitt Street, where they discovered a male victim suffering from a gunshot wound. The responding officers, including Detective Tommie Brown, secured the scene as emergency medical personnel arrived to attend to the injured individual.
The victim was
identified as 23-year-old James Lamont Crowley Jr. Paramedics from American Medical Response transported him to the University of Mississippi Medical Center for urgent care. Despite the efforts of medical staff to treat his injuries, he was pronounced dead at the hospital. His death marked the 57th homicide investigated by the city's police force for the year.
As the investigation unfolded, law enforcement officials reported that they had no information regarding potential suspects or motives at that time. No arrests were immediately made in connection with the shooting. Funeral arrangements were later coordinated through the Westhaven Memorial Funeral Home, with services held to honor his life later that month.
