Antonyo Dequrious Esco, 18, was shot and killed in Jackson, Mississippi, on the night of Sunday, August 21, 2022. The fatal shooting occurred at the Village Apartments during what has been reported as a firearm sale; the prospective buyer allegedly took the weapon and used it to kill Esco.

Months earlier, Esco had been arrested by the Jackson Police Department in February 2022 on charges that included armed carjacking and capital murder. A Hinds County Court judge remanded the most severe charges to municipal court, and Esco was later released on a $25,000 bond after pleading to a lesser charge of crack cocaine possession.

The Jackson Police Department opened a homicide investigation after the August shooting. As of late August 2022, no suspects had been publicly identified and no arrests announced, leaving the identity of the shooter and the exact circumstances of the deadly transaction unresolved.

Did anyone in the Jackson area see or hear anything at the Village Apartments that night or have information about that firearm sale?
