Derrick Ramond Wilson, 36, was found fatally shot on Ellis Avenue near John R. Lynch Street in west Jackson in the early hours of a Sunday in spring 2023. Reports give his date of death as April 2, 2023, though some gun-violence listings place it on March 31, 2023. A passerby discovered him near the roadway; Jackson officers later arrived and the Hinds County coroner confirmed his identity.

Local accounts say officers cordoned off the area and searched for shell casings and witnesses, but did not name a suspect or state a motive. His family held funeral services at Ashland M.B. Church in Port Gibson on April 15, 2023, with burial in the church cemetery. Friends and memorial pages have shared his photograph and remembrances while the official investigation remained open.
