Ernest Walters was 21 when he was shot multiple times on Lindbergh Drive in Jackson, Mississippi, on the evening of May 8, 2022. He was taken to a local hospital but died of his injuries. A second man, 23, was also shot in the same incident and suffered non-life-threatening wounds.

Jackson Police determined the shooting was connected to a drug debt and arrested a 14-year-old boy in the case; the teenager’s name was not released because of his age. The suspect was charged with murder in Walters’ death and aggravated assault in the other shooting. The killing occurred during a weekend that included several other homicides, prompting public statements of sorrow from Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba.
