In the early morning hours of July 17, 2020, the life of 26-year-old Tramaine Green, a male from Jackson, Mississippi, was tragically cut short. Reports from his mother, Shaneika Green, indicate that a group of individuals came to his house around 3 a.m., chased him down, and shot him seven times. He succumbed to his injuries later that day at approximately 3:30 p.m.
The Jackson Police Department began an investigation into the fatal shooting, announcing that an adult male had been found
with multiple gunshot wounds near the intersection of Belvedere Drive and Freemont Street just before 4 a.m. At the time, they had no suspect information or a known motive.
In the months and years that followed, Tramaine Green's family has been left grappling with their loss and a frustrating search for answers. His mother has spoken publicly about the pain of not knowing who is responsible for her son's death and her dissatisfaction with the communication from the Jackson Police Department regarding the investigation. As of early 2022, there have been no arrests made in the case, and no suspects have been publicly identified. The case is considered a homicide.
The family continues to seek justice and peace, holding onto the memory of a son who was the oldest of six siblings. His mother remembers him as a good son who was sweet, respectful, and loved his family. The lack of resolution in his case underscores the devastating impact of unsolved gun violence on families within the community.
