Eric Hawkins, 24, was shot on the afternoon of Monday, April 2, 2018, on Clifton Street in Jackson, Mississippi. He was found with a gunshot wound to the chest, taken to a nearby hospital, and died of his injuries. The Jackson Police Department opened a homicide investigation.

Within a day investigators named a person of interest, 21-year-old Delanford Snell, and asked the public for help locating him. Snell was taken into custody, questioned, and formally charged with Hawkins’ murder after detectives said a dispute between the two escalated into the fatal shooting. The post does not detail later court outcomes.
