In the late spring of 2021, 48-year-old Vidal Sullivan was fatally shot in Jackson, Mississippi. Officers were sent to the 3200 block of Bailey Avenue on the evening of Sunday, May 30, 2021, after reports of a shooting. A private vehicle had already taken a gunshot victim to a local hospital; that victim was later identified as Vidal Sullivan and the Hinds County Coroner confirmed his identity and cause of death.

The Jackson Police Department opened a homicide investigation, but initial public information did not include details about how the shooting occurred, a motive, or any suspects. As of the latest available update, no arrests or suspect identifications have been announced and the investigation is ongoing.
