Azadrian Alize Burton was 22 when he died after being shot in the early hours of November 14, 2018, on Teresa Drive in South Jackson. Family remembered him as a devoted father to his son Aaden, active in Gospel of Deliverance Church’s mime and children’s ministries, and the dependable top fry cook at a local Kentucky Fried Chicken. He loved music, wrote and recorded raps, built things with his hands, and collected hats.

Around 2 a.m. gunfire erupted on the residential block; Burton was struck multiple times and was taken in a private vehicle to a hospital, where he later died. The Hinds County coroner identified him that morning and Jackson police processed the scene, collected shell casings, and asked witnesses to come forward. Reports describe an active investigation but do not name any suspects or report arrests.

Does anyone who lived on or near Teresa Drive that night have information that could help investigators?
