On November 27, 2015, 22-year-old Cerea Jackson and her 68-year-old grandmother, Emma Jackson, were fatally shot in their home on Church Street in Como, Mississippi. The shootings occurred in the presence of Cerea’s two young sons; the four-year-old ran to a neighbor’s house and said that his father had shot his mother and grandmother, which prompted the police response and a search for the suspect.

Authorities identified Quendarius Robinson, described as Cerea’s 24-year-old boyfriend and the father of her child, as the sole suspect. Robinson fled in a Nissan Altima and was arrested in Batesville on November 30, 2015. Investigators reported finding a black hoodie with gunshot residue on the sleeve inside the vehicle. Robinson was charged with two counts of first-degree murder and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon, and was tried in Panola County Circuit Court in November 2016, where the child’s identification of his father was a key piece of testimony.

Anyone who knew Cerea, Emma, or the family, or who has information about the case, is asked to come forward.
