Jackson, Mississippi – The investigation into a fatal shooting in Jackson is making progress following the death of Quintavious McCray on North Flag Chapel Road. According to Detective Tommie Brown, the case has expanded to over a mile with connections to four different locations. McCray succumbed to his injuries after being taken to a hospital. The police have received new information, indicating a potential connection to a stolen vehicle, although McCray’s family disputes this claim.
McCray’s mother, Kami McCray, expressed her disbelief at the narrative being presented, stating, “My baby was shot down at that store, and for them to lie on him and say that he stole a car and wrecked it and died at the hospital, that really hurt me because that’s not what happened.” To clarify the situation, McCray’s mother spoke with Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade, who confirmed that the shooter remains unidentified.
Chief Wade described the chaotic scene, noting a stolen vehicle nearby and witnesses who may have information about the incident. Additionally, another individual involved in the situation was hit in the head with a brick, leading to their release from the hospital.
