Tristan Kimes, 20, was found dead from gunshot wounds on Bowers Street in Jackson, Mississippi, on November 4, 2024. The Jackson Police Department is treating the death as a homicide; no suspects or arrests have been publicly named and the investigation remains active.

Kimes had a prior interaction with law enforcement: in October 2022 he was arrested in connection with an accidental shooting that killed a nine-year-old girl at the Graystone Apartments in Jackson. His killing in 2024 closes a brief life that included earlier tragedy and now an unresolved homicide.

Anyone with information about the November 4 shooting on Bowers Street is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department.
