On May 30, 2022, the body of 37-year-old Abdullah Mohammed was found inside a room at the abandoned Quality Inn on Ellis Avenue near Interstate 20 in Jackson, Mississippi. The Hinds County Coroner confirmed Mohammed had been shot multiple times in the chest; discovery was made at about 1 a.m. and the Jackson Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Authorities released few details early on: no suspect, motive, or clear explanation for why Mohammed was at the derelict motel have been disclosed. No arrests have been publicly announced and the investigation remains active. The setting of a deserted motel room and the absence of public leads have left many questions for Mohammed’s family and the community.

Did anyone in the Jackson area see or hear anything around the Quality Inn on Ellis Avenue that night or know why Mohammed might have been there?
