On November 9, 2015, 32-year-old Nedra Johnson, a Black woman, and 25-year-old Bradley Adams were found shot to death at the Sunset Plaza Apartments in Jackson, Mississippi. Their bodies were recovered that day and the Jackson Police Department opened a double homicide investigation.

Authorities identified Johnathan Nickson as a suspect and arrested him, charging him with two counts of first-degree murder in the deaths of Johnson and Adams and with being a felon in possession of a firearm. At trial, the jury acquitted Nickson of the first-degree murder counts but deadlocked on second-degree murder charges and the firearm possession count, prompting the judge to declare a mistrial on those remaining counts.

The Mississippi Supreme Court later affirmed the acquittals on the first-degree murder charges, which prevents retrial on those specific counts. The mistrial on the second-degree murder and firearm possession charges left the possibility of further prosecution unresolved, and the families have not received full closure.

If anyone knew Nedra Johnson or has information about the shootings at Sunset Plaza Apartments, please come forward.
