Fifteen-year-old Shamar Demand Griffin was killed in a drive-by shooting in Jackson, Mississippi, on the evening of December 22, 2020. He was a passenger in a vehicle on the 5500 block of North State Street when occupants of another car opened fire. After the shooting, the vehicle carrying Griffin went to the IHOP parking lot on Briarwood Drive, where he was found and later pronounced dead; the Hinds County Coroner confirmed his identity and cause of death.

The Jackson Police Department says investigators recovered footage showing a small white car with at least two people inside and believe there were two shooters. No arrests have been announced and the two suspects remain unidentified and at large. Very little else about the circumstances has been released.

If anyone has information about the small white car or the people seen in it, please contact the Jackson Police Department.
