Jerry B. Lee, 68, was found dead in a ditch near his home on Abram Ford Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, in the early morning of October 8, 2025. The Jackson Police Department’s investigation determined Lee had been shot and stabbed multiple times in what the department is treating as a brutal attack; his death was recorded as the city’s 48th homicide of the year.

Detectives initially reported no clear motive or suspects, but by the evening of October 9 they had identified a person of interest and arrested 42-year-old Kelarce McElroy in connection with Lee’s death. McElroy was charged with murder, aggravated assault, and possession of narcotics, and a municipal court judge set bond at $1.6 million. The investigation into the circumstances of the fatal encounter and the altercation believed to have preceded it remains ongoing.

Did anyone in the Jackson area see or hear anything around Abram Ford Drive the night of October 7–8 that could help investigators?
