I also hope Mookie is doing ok. I hope he is surrounded by good and loving people that will help him grow and thrive.

Christopher Walton, 52, of Jackson, Mississippi, was fatally shot on the evening of Thursday, December 12, 2024, in the 1100 block of Grand Avenue. Friends and family remembered him for his infectious laughter and love of life and described him as a dedicated person who was always ready with a joke or a listening ear.

He was pronounced dead at the scene before police arrived. The Jackson Police Department identified and arrested 23-year-old Kalus Kelly, the girlfriend’s son, and charged him with murder; a judge set bond at $500,000.
