Good morning, Jackson.

Michael Owens admitted on the stand he shot his wife after finding her with another man and dumped her body in a river — DNA evidence from a bridge partially supports his account — closing arguments for the trial will resume today.

A man was shot dead on the 3000 block of Woodbine Street on September 7 and the Jackson Police are investigating the case—tips are encouraged to be sent to Crime Stoppers.

The Jackson Police Department went to the 3000 block of Woodbine Street on Sept.

7—one man was found dead from a gunshot that appears self-inflicted, officials said.

Briarwood Arts Center celebrated its 3rd birthday with a weekend-long festival called 'Briarwoodstock' where Jackson families played basketball, pool and chess, enjoyed face painting and a drinks bar.

The center, started by local Steven Brown to revitalize the neighborhood, will offer more arts programs and classes in the future — its mission continues to grow.

Today, Jackson City Council will vote on an ordinance that requires a $25 permit for panhandling—supporters say it will bring order while critics argue it unfairly targets the vulnerable—and the measure limits solicitation hours and imposes penalties of up to six months in jail and a $300 fine for violations.

On Friday, Supervisor Smith filed an appeal to reverse Special Judge Barry Ford’s decision to let David Archie’s election fraud claim go to trial.

Smith beat Archie in the 2023 primary to win District 2, and the case will return to the Mississippi Supreme Court—this delay could push the final decision past the next election.
