Terry Hooker, 59, was found shot to death inside his vehicle on Leonard Court in Jackson, Mississippi, after returning home about 10:30 p.m. on May 9, 2018. A witness reported hearing several gunshots, and investigators believe the assailant may have been lying in wait. The killing was counted as Jackson’s 38th homicide of the year.

Hooker had survived an earlier attack: on July 17, 2017 he was critically wounded in a shooting that also killed 26-year-old De’Monte Cortez West. In that 2017 case a suspect named Mikel Blane, then 40, was indicted for West’s murder and faced an aggravated assault charge for Hooker’s injuries.
