On January 15, 2015, a dispute in a Jackson, Mississippi gas station parking lot turned fatal when 34-year-old Christal Summers was shot multiple times just before 4:30 a.m. Summers, a Black male and a local rapper who was the father of a daughter on the Dancing Dolls team from the show Bring It, was pronounced dead at the scene at the Laxmi gas station on Terry Road. Another person at the scene was treated for a gunshot wound to the hand at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.

Police reviewed surveillance footage that captured the incident but did not release it because of its graphic nature. Witnesses reported seeing a suspect flee in a red car. The Jackson Police Department identified 23-year-old Jonathan Kelly, who turned himself in on January 23, 2014, and was arrested on a weapons charge for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Investigators continued to examine whether the shooting could be justifiable; reports that saw the security footage said both men returned to their vehicles during the argument, that Summers allegedly retrieved a handgun, and that he was walking toward the other vehicle when he was shot.

Does anyone have information about Summers that could help clarify what happened that night?
