Andrew Knight Jr, 49, was shot and killed on the morning of November 24, 2025, on the 5700 block of Gault Street in Jackson. Officers arrived around 8:27–8:30 a.m. and found him lying on the front porch of a home described as his residence. He was pronounced dead at the scene, and Jackson Police Chief Tyree Jones later publicly identified him as the victim.

Investigators say Knight appeared to be running from an assailant when he was struck and collapsed on the porch. Reports indicate the wound was likely from a handgun, though no firearm has been recovered. The shooting was recorded as Jackson’s 56th homicide of 2025. Police treated the location as an active homicide scene, interviewed and detained several witnesses, and have stressed that a motive has not yet been determined. No suspects or detailed suspect description have been released and no arrests announced.

Anyone who knew Knight or who has information about what happened that morning is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department or Crime Stoppers.
