On the night of June 16, 2026, 20-year-old Caleb Wilson was killed in a reported drive-by shooting in Jackson, Mississippi. About 10:55 p.m., Wilson was standing with three other Black males in front of an apartment complex on the 300 block of North Prentiss Street when a brown SUV—believed to be a GMC Yukon or Chevrolet Tahoe—drove by and multiple shots were fired. Wilson was fatally wounded and pronounced dead at the scene; a 19-year-old man was also injured and taken to a hospital in stable condition.

Wilson’s death was recorded as Jackson’s 35th homicide of 2026. The Jackson Police Department opened an active investigation; witnesses were present and a potential suspect vehicle has been described, but authorities have not publicly identified any suspects or a motive and no arrests have been announced. Few other details about what led to the shooting have been released.

If anyone saw that brown Yukon or Tahoe in the area on June 16, or has information about who was inside, please share what is known with the Jackson Police Department.
