Kevin Clay, a 22-year-old Black man, was shot during an altercation in the parking lot of a Waffle House on Highway 18 in south Jackson on the night of Friday, December 15, 2023. Police say gunfire erupted around 11 p.m.; when officers arrived they found a Kia Rio in the lot that had been reported stolen and was riddled with bullet holes. Three people were shot; a private vehicle transported the wounded to Merit Health Central, where staff struggled to care for them amid chaos in the emergency-room lobby.

Clay survived for several days but died of his wounds on December 19, 2023, according to an obituary. Authorities identified Latimmis Washington on a possession-of-stolen-vehicle charge related to the Kia, but no arrest or suspect has been publicly named in the shooting that killed Clay.
