During Jackson’s Hal’s St. Paddy’s Day Parade on March 25, 2023, 27-year-old volunteer firefighter Joshua Spann was killed after intervening in an apparent assault. Spann and friends approached a parked vehicle on Jefferson Street where 29-year-old Jordan Cummins was reportedly assaulting his girlfriend, Jenny Lukens. Spann was struck and fatally wounded.

A second person, 23-year-old Jubilee Simpkins, who had been in the back of a friend’s truck, was also killed by the same gunfire. Cummins and his girlfriend left the scene but Cummins surrendered to Rankin County deputies later that afternoon and was taken into custody by the Capitol Police. He was charged with two counts of murder; at his initial court appearance he claimed self-defense and alleged Spann had drawn a gun. His request for bond was denied.

What information do readers with knowledge of the parade or the people involved have that could shed light on the events that day?
