On a late Sunday evening in Jackson, Mississippi, the quiet of the 5300 block of Dogwood Trail was shattered by the sound of gunfire, leaving two men dead in what would become a double homicide investigation. The victims were identified as 63-year-old Glen McWilliams, a white male, and 31-year-old Antonio Arnold, a Black male. The incident occurred on March 1, 2026, with police being dispatched to the scene near Oakridge Road at approximately 10:00 p.m.
Upon their arrival, officers
discovered a grim scene. McWilliams was found lying in the street, while Arnold was located in a nearby ditch. Both men had sustained fatal gunshot wounds and were pronounced dead at the scene. The Jackson Police Department's Robbery/Homicide Unit, along with the Mobile Crime Unit and the Hinds County Coroner's Office, were all called in to process the scene and begin the arduous task of piecing together the events that led to the two men's untimely deaths.
The investigation swiftly led to a suspect. Michael Knight, a 39-year-old male, was identified and apprehended in connection with the killings. He was subsequently charged with two counts of murder. Following his arrest, Knight appeared in Municipal Court where a judge set his bond at $2 million. As the case moves through the legal system, the families of Glen McWilliams and Antonio Arnold are left to grapple with their sudden and tragic loss. The investigation is officially considered ongoing, and authorities have urged anyone with additional information to come forward to assist the Jackson Police Department.
