Jeremy Latray Easterling, a 30-year-old Black man, was shot and killed multiple times during an armed robbery at the Crown Motel on Boling Street in Jackson, Mississippi. The killing occurred December 2, 2024, and was recorded as Jackson’s 100th homicide of the year; Easterling was pronounced dead at the scene.

Investigators used motel surveillance to identify two women leaving in a four-door red Dodge Ram with a gray front fender. Authorities named 25-year-old Arianna Expose and 34-year-old Angela Rhodes as suspects, issued arrest warrants, and later arrested them in Simpson County. Both were turned over to the Jackson Police Department and charged with murder; a judge set bond at $500,000 each. Reports indicate the women had arranged to meet Easterling at the motel before the shooting.

Funeral services for Easterling were held December 14, 2024, at Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church in Prentiss, Mississippi, and he was buried at Bethlehem Cemetery; an online memorial was also created. Does anyone have information about Easterling’s movements that day or the red Dodge Ram seen on surveillance?
