On December 1, 2025, officers from the Jackson Police Department responded to a call on the 200 block of Sollitt Street in the city’s second precinct and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. The victim was identified as 23-year-old James Lamont Crowley Jr. Paramedics transported him to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead. Detective Tommie Brown was among the officers who secured the scene.

This death was counted as Jackson’s 57th homicide for the year. Law enforcement reported having no information on suspects or a motive at the time, and no arrests were made immediately. Funeral services for Crowley Jr. were arranged through Westhaven Memorial Funeral Home later in December.
