A midday shooting at a Jackson gas station killed 23-year-old Jacobi Austin on Saturday, July 20, 2024. The shooting occurred shortly after 3:00 p.m. at the Texaco on Medgar Evers Boulevard; Austin was found dead at the scene.

Jackson police identified a person of interest early in the investigation and searched for a gray sedan believed to be linked to the suspect. A warrant was issued for Adrian Sutton, described by authorities as armed and dangerous. Dakeria Hawkins was arrested and charged with accessory after the fact to murder in connection with the case. The shooting prompted city leaders to seek the gas station be declared a public nuisance and led the Police Department to launch Operation Gas Up Guns Down.

Are there witnesses or anyone with dashcam or surveillance footage from that afternoon who can help with Jacobi Austin’s case?
