In the early hours of a Tuesday morning in Jackson, Mississippi, a dispute shattered the night and ended a life. On February 18, 2020, Jerrie Cornelius 'Lil Jerrie' Kency, a 28-year-old male, was shot multiple times at an apartment complex on Sunset Drive in the northwestern part of the city. The Jackson Police Department responded to the scene to find Kency, who was pronounced dead shortly thereafter, marking the city's ninth homicide of the year.
Investigators determined that the fatal
shooting stemmed from an altercation over a woman. A suspect was quickly identified as 33-year-old Terry Coleman. It was reported that following the argument, Coleman fled the scene, prompting the Jackson Police Department to launch a manhunt for him on a murder charge.
The death of Jerrie Kency was a profound loss for his family and friends, who remembered him as a loving husband and father. As the community mourned, the search for his alleged killer began. Despite the immediate identification of a suspect and the active search by law enforcement, it remains unclear from available information whether Terry Coleman was ever taken into custody in connection with the shooting.
