In the early hours of December 30, 2017, 31-year-old David Yancy, a Black man from Jackson, Mississippi, was shot dead in the front yard of a house on Bonita Street. Jackson police were dispatched about 2:48 a.m.; officers found Yancy lying in the yard with multiple gunshot wounds and he was pronounced dead at the scene. The address where he was killed was not his home. His death was recorded as Jackson’s 63rd homicide of 2017.

Detectives canvassed the neighborhood and issued public appeals asking anyone with information to contact police or CrimeStoppers. Family and acquaintances memorialized him online, noting he had a young son, worked at a car wash by a North Jackson gas station, and had ties to Murrah High School. Early police statements gave no motive and no suspect information was released, and there has been no public announcement of an arrest or charge tied to Yancy’s killing as of the latest reports.

Does anyone have information about David Yancy, his movements that night, or witnesses who heard or saw anything on Bonita Street around 2:48 a.m.?
