A Jackson, Mississippi family has now lost two members named Zedrick Warner in separate shootings decades apart. On December 25, 2008, 39-year-old Zedrick Maurice Warner Sr. was at a family Christmas gathering on Roosevelt Street when an argument with Saheed Davis escalated. Witnesses say Davis went to his vehicle, retrieved a handgun, and shot Warner multiple times in front of numerous onlookers, including children. Warner sustained at least 18 bullet wounds, was taken to the University Medical Center, and died; the shooting occurred around 5:30 p.m. Davis fled the scene, was arrested in Texas in October 2010, tried, and convicted of murder, receiving life in prison after his self-defense claim was rejected by a jury.

On June 30, 2024, 20-year-old Zedrick Maurice Warner Jr. was fatally shot at the Blossom Apartments on Woodbine Street. He was found by Jackson police and pronounced dead at a local hospital. Authorities have not released details about what led to the shooting; the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been announced. His mother has publicly urged parents to teach conflict resolution rather than resorting to violence.

Does anyone have information about the June 30 incident or knew Zedrick Warner Jr. that could help the investigation?
