Dameon J. Parker was 21 when he was shot at the Alta Woods apartments on Albermarle Road in Jackson, Mississippi, on January 12, 2021. Officers responding to reports of shots fired found Parker with a gunshot wound to the head; he was taken to a local hospital and died the next day.

Investigators said the shooting may have arisen from a dispute. Witnesses reported a light-colored Jeep fleeing the scene, and the Jackson Police Department searched for that vehicle and anyone involved. Within days, police identified a suspect: 21-year-old Cedrick Moffett was arrested and charged with Parker’s murder. Authorities did not immediately release details about motive or any relationship between Parker and Moffett.

If anyone saw activity around Alta Woods on January 12, 2021, or has information about the light-colored Jeep, please share what is known with the Jackson Police Department.
