Oren D’Lonte Anderson was 22 when he was fatally shot in Jackson, Mississippi on December 9, 2020. The shooting happened in the 2200 block of Sloane Street in South Jackson. Anderson was inside a vehicle when a bullet struck him; he died at the scene.

Witness accounts say Anderson had met with acquaintances that morning and that an altercation occurred with a group. After the dispute, as he returned to his car, shots were fired into the vehicle. His mother has said she believes he knew the people who shot him and that he died looking at his killer.

No suspects have been publicly identified and no arrests in connection with Anderson’s homicide have been announced; the case remains unsolved. His family’s grief intensified when an older brother was later arrested on murder charges after allegedly killing a man he believed responsible for Oren’s death.

If anyone knew Oren, was in South Jackson on December 9, 2020, or has information about the shooting, please come forward.
