Robert Wheatbrook was a man remembered by loved ones for his willingness to help anyone in his community. Known to some as "Bub" or "7 rob," the 35-year-old White man was a brother who was deeply loved and missed. His life was cut short on the morning of Wednesday, February 28, 2024, in Jackson, Mississippi.

That morning, officers from the Jackson Police Department responded to a call in the 2000 block of Belvedere Drive. They found Robert Wheatbrook suffering from gunshot wounds. He succumbed to his injuries and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Detectives immediately began a homicide investigation into the shooting. The department released Robert's identity the following day and asked the public for any information that could help solve the case.

Within two days, the investigation led to an arrest. On Friday, March 1, 2024, Jackson police announced that they had taken 27-year-old Keenan Jacobs into custody. Jacobs was subsequently charged with the murder of Robert Wheatbrook. As of March 2024, the case against him is ongoing. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Jackson Police Department at 601-960-1234 or Crime Stoppers at 601-355-TIPS (8477).
