A dispute outside the Jasco on Woodrow Wilson Avenue in Jackson, Mississippi, turned deadly on February 24, 2018. During a late-night argument in the gas station parking lot, gunfire broke out and 25-year-old Craig Johnson, a Black man, was fatally shot; another man, Corey Johnson, was wounded.

Local investigators identified a suspect and moved quickly. In March 2018 Kareem Boykins was arrested and charged with first-degree murder in Craig Johnson’s death and aggravated assault in connection with Corey Johnson’s injuries. The case proceeded through the courts, and trial began November 9, 2021, with the Hinds County District Attorney’s Office prosecuting.

Anyone who witnessed the shooting that night or has additional information about the events outside the Jasco on Woodrow Wilson Avenue is asked to come forward.
