On the evening of November 19, 2015, 58-year-old Suzanne Hogan was shot and killed while filling her car with gasoline at the Shell station at Watkins Drive and Beasley Road in Jackson, Mississippi. Hogan had recently moved to Madison County and worked as a financial manager at Entergy.

The killing was one of two random shootings that night. Police later arrested 22-year-old Jackson State University student Zebulum Lael James at an apartment complex in south Jackson. James was tried for the shootings; he represented himself and raised a mental illness defense. A jury found him sane and convicted him of Hogan’s murder. A Hinds County Circuit Judge sentenced James to life in prison, plus five years for shooting into an occupied vehicle.

Anyone who knew Suzanne Hogan or has information about the events of that night is asked to come forward.
