On April 10, 2019, Emmanuel Fleming, a 35-year-old Black man, was found on Carter Circle in west Jackson, Mississippi, suffering from fatal gunshot wounds after reports of a shooting. Investigators described the incident as arising from a domestic dispute that escalated into lethal violence, leaving the family and neighborhood reeling.

Police identified a suspect quickly, naming Emmanuel’s brother, Montez Fleming, as the primary suspect. Montez fled the jurisdiction after the shooting; a multiagency search followed and the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force located and arrested him in Louisiana the next day, April 11, 2019. He was held there pending extradition to Hinds County and was charged in connection with Emmanuel’s death.

The case centers on a family dispute that ended in homicide. Anyone with information about Emmanuel, the events on Carter Circle, or who saw activity in west Jackson on April 10–11, 2019 is asked to come forward.
