A body found in the charred remains of an apartment fire in Jackson, Mississippi, led investigators to conclude the death was a homicide. Firefighters responded to a blaze at the Sunset Plaza Apartments on Sunset Drive on June 14, 2023, and the victim was identified as 41-year-old Anthony Michael Wilson, a resident of Jackson. An autopsy later determined Wilson died of blunt force trauma and had been killed before the fire was set.

Two days after Wilson’s body was discovered, the Jackson Police Department arrested 43-year-old Jessica R. Blount of Jackson and charged her with his murder. The motive has not been disclosed. If anyone knew Anthony Michael Wilson or has information about the events at Sunset Plaza Apartments in June 2023, please share what you know.
