On November 20, 2017, authorities in Jackson, Mississippi, recorded the death of Terry Gunn, a 60-year-old Black male. The incident occurred within the capital city's jurisdiction, adding to the violent crime statistics for Hinds County that year. Gunn was identified as a victim of homicide, though specific details regarding the cause of death or the exact location where his body was discovered were not widely disseminated in initial media reports.
Following the discovery, the Jackson Police Department opened an investigation into the circumstances surrounding his death. His name was subsequently entered into state and local databases tracking victims of violent crime. Despite the efforts of law enforcement to gather evidence and solicit leads from the community, information regarding the motive or the events leading up to the killing remained scarce in the public domain.
To date, online records and crime databases, including those tracking unsolved cases in Mississippi, list Terry Gunn’s death as a homicide. There are no reports indicating that a suspect has been identified, charged, or arrested in connection with the case. The investigation appears to have gone cold, with no trial or convictions recorded, leaving the death of Mr. Gunn as an unsolved matter within the Jackson area.
