Chelsie Lynn Kirschten was 23 when she was shot and killed in Jackson, Mississippi, on the night of August 17, 2017. She was sitting in her white Pontiac G6 at a traffic light at Fortification Street and State Street with a female passenger when an unidentified Black man in dark clothing approached the driver’s side carrying a silver handgun and fired one shot through the driver’s window. The bullet struck Kirschten in the upper back.

The shooter fled on foot and the Pontiac rolled east on Fortification Street before stopping near the interstate. Police and emergency responders arrived about 11:48 p.m., and Kirschten was pronounced dead at the scene. Investigators initially described the attack as seemingly random and asked the public for help with information.

Does anyone have information about that intersection or that night that could help the investigation?
