He was transported to a local hospital but died of his injuries, and the incident was ruled a homicide.

Delaney, originally from Monroe, Louisiana, worked as a contractor and was remembered for his Christian faith and his love for his family. The Jonesboro Police Department’s Criminal Investigation Division located two people of interest that night: Eugine Jackson, 18, of Memphis, and a 16-year-old male. Both were taken into custody and booked into the Craighead County Detention Center on first-degree murder charges as they awaited further legal proceedings.
