Erik McElroy was 29 when he was shot and killed in Jackson, Mississippi, on the evening of Sunday, August 30, 2015. The shooting happened on Azalea Drive and prompted an investigation by the Jackson Police Department.

Within a day of the shooting, authorities identified a suspect and made an arrest. Darius D. Short was taken into custody and charged with McElroy’s murder. The motive and the circumstances leading up to the shooting were not immediately released to the public.
