A late-night shooting at the Forest Park Apartments on Forest Avenue in Jackson, Mississippi, ended in the death of 29-year-old Black male Mario Lampkin on the night of February 6, 2017. Officers found Lampkin with a gunshot wound to the head; he was taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center and pronounced dead in the early morning hours.

Jackson Police homicide detectives opened an investigation at the complex and identified 30-year-old Joshua Thomas as a suspect. Thomas was charged with murder, and law enforcement described him as armed and dangerous. Central Mississippi Crime Stoppers later listed the case as unsolved and reported Thomas as a fugitive wanted by the Fugitive Task Force and the Jackson Police Department; a reward was offered for information leading to his arrest.

Did anyone in Jackson have information about Lampkin, Thomas, or that night at Forest Park Apartments?
