Good morning, Jackson.

The Salvation Army of Jackson held its 28th annual soup competition today with 26 local restaurants donating soups and celebrity servers including Maggie Wade, Tyree Jones, and Brooke Bumgarner serving guests.

Tickets cost $25 and proceeds will support local programs—such as the homeless shelter and food pantry.

Jackson police said a suspect killed a man on McDowell Circle at 3:30 p.m. Sunday then went next door and killed a woman who refused to hide him—two stolen vehicles were recovered and 36-year-old Jarvis Anderson was arrested and will face double homicide charges.

Kendrick Stubbs used a fake $19,000 check on March 12 at Walmart on Greenway Drive to buy a blue 2024 Honda Accord and then sold it on Facebook Marketplace on March 13 for $8,500 before following the buyer home to steal the car—he now faces felony auto theft, false pretense, and embezzlement charges.

After bad weather hit Jackson early Sunday morning, damage reports showed downed trees in 12 areas and power outages, and city leaders warned residents to stay away from power lines near a sinkhole at Westhaven.

Police began clearing roads at 7 a.m.—the Fire Department answered 27 calls—and Mayor Lumumba declared a citywide emergency while working with the Incident Management System on flood safety at the Monument and Gallatin viaduct.

Jackson hospital holds its annual NICU reunion to honor children who moved from the Newborn Intensive Care Unit to pediatric care.

The 25-year event themed for Easter brings together families and staff—many of whom are parents—to celebrate the children’s progress.

Jackson State football is reloading after its historic season as coach TC Taylor and GM Otis Riddley track new transfers for next season—players such as DB Vernorrious Chaney, CB Khmauri Rogers and QB Tyriq Starks have signed while others like QB Zy McDonald and DT Tyas Martin entered the transfer portal. The program builds on its Celebration Bowl and SWAC Championship wins as it prepares for the coming season.
