Ricky Archie, 33, was shot and killed on May 14, 2021, in the 3200 block of Lynch Street in Jackson, Mississippi. Archie was a local businessman who owned an auto repair shop and was remembered by friends and family as hardworking and devoted to the business he built.

The shooting was part of a broader crime spree. Authorities say the suspect, identified as Jaden Hill, robbed three people earlier that day before encountering Archie and shooting him. Hill then fired into an occupied vehicle, wounding a woman, carjacked a white Mercedes and fled. Police later located Hill, who was shot by officers during an armed confrontation and taken into custody. Hill has been charged with, among other counts, capital murder and armed robbery.

The community mourned Archie’s death and remembered his impact. Does anyone have information about Archie’s business or the neighborhood around Lynch Street that could add context to what happened?
