Carolyn Temple, 69, was shot during an attempted purse robbery on the evening of January 7, 2015, in the Belhaven neighborhood of Jackson, Mississippi. She was bringing in a garbage can at her boyfriend’s home when assailants confronted her; she was shot in the stomach, taken to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, and died five days later on January 12, 2015.

Investigators identified three teenage suspects. Antreal Jones and Jerome Moore, both 17 at the time, were taken into custody after a standoff. A 16-year-old, Antwain Dukes, had a warrant issued for his arrest. All three were indicted on charges of capital murder and armed carjacking in connection with Temple’s death.

In 2016 Jerome Moore was convicted of capital murder; prosecutors said he drove the getaway vehicle and supplied the gun though he did not fire the fatal shot. His defense argued his confession was coerced; the Mississippi Supreme Court later granted him a new sentencing hearing in 2019. The grand jury indictments for Antreal Jones and Antwain Dukes also moved forward.

Did anyone in Belhaven at the time see activity near that house on January 7, 2015, or have information about the suspects’ movements that evening?
