In the quiet hours of a Sunday morning in Jackson, Mississippi, a home on Britton Street became the scene of a grim discovery that left a family and community reeling. On December 12, 2021, police responded to a call that led them to the residence where they found three family members fatally shot. Among the victims was 60-year-old Colleen Bullock. She was found alongside her husband, 56-year-old James Bullock, and their 43-year-old nephew, Jessi Bullock. The cause of their deaths was determined to be gun violence.
The initial investigation into the triple homicide brought to light another recent tragedy that had befallen the Bullock family. Just a week prior to the discovery on Britton Street, Jessi Bullock’s son, Jameal Smith, had been shot and killed at a Texaco gas station on North State Street. Authorities at the time acknowledged the close proximity of the two fatal incidents and were exploring the possibility of a connection between the slaying of the son and the subsequent murders of his father, aunt, and uncle. Investigators considered various motives, including the possibility of retaliation.
Despite the initial leads and the profound loss experienced by the Bullock family's friends and the wider community, the investigation into the triple homicide has not yielded any publicly announced arrests or identified suspects. News reports following the immediate aftermath of the killings detailed the grief of those who knew the family and the police's commitment to bringing those responsible to justice. However, subsequent information regarding the progress of the investigation, including any developments in identifying or apprehending a suspect or suspects, remains unavailable in online sources. The case of who killed Colleen, James, and Jessi Bullock appears to remain unsolved.
