On the early morning of Christmas Day, December 25, 2025, officers from the Jackson Police Department responded to a distress call at a residence in the 1500 block of Luter Lane. At about 2:30 a.m. first responders found an unresponsive man in the yard who had sustained multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene. Hinds County Coroner Jeramiah Howard identified him as 27‑year‑old Javarian McAbee, a local resident.

Investigators from the Crimes Against Persons Unit and crime scene technicians processed the scene and opened a homicide investigation. Police officials, including Hinds County Sheriff and Police Chief Tyree Jones, said two people were detained in connection with the shooting and that criminal charges were pending as detectives continued to probe motive and circumstances.

If anyone has information about Javarian McAbee, his activities that night, or the events around Luter Lane on December 25, contact investigators with what they know.
