NEWS/TALK 101.5 FM and WNWS.COM received information that a deputy from the Madison County Sheriff’s Department found the victim of a gunshot wound, Saturday.
On 28 December 2019 at approximately 1730 hours, a deputy with the Madison County Sheriff’s Department – who asked not to be identified – was in the area of North Park when the Jackson Police Department Dispatch advised a situation update on a previous shooting.
The JPD advised that a caller stated he was in a field with a truck and a shooting victim. Dispatch advised the suspect vehicle was possibly located in the area of 232 Sundown, but the phone (was) pinging to the pond area Northe of Demonbreun Drive, east of Sundown.
The deputy was aware of a shooting and was advised by a Sgt. with the Sheriff’s Department that one person had expired due to gunshot wounds at the original scene on North Highland Avenue.
The deputy responded to the area from North Highland Avenue and two city police units were traveling East on Demonbreun in front of him.
The deputy looked to the north in the field area off Demonbreun and caught a faint glimpse of cargo dome lights of a truck in the back of the field.
He also observed fresh vehicle tracks going into the field.
The deputy then drove his patrol car into the field, located a dark maroon Ford F150 – very new model – with the back glass shot out, multiple bullet holes, blood spattered inside with shell casings, and a black male in a fetal position to the East of the truck by a few feet.
The victim’s shirt was covered in blood, bleeding from the mouth and had a gunshot wound to the back of his neck – possibly an exit wound – and a gunshot wound to the center of his chest.
The deputy – on the JPD radio – advised city units to converge on his location.
Units arrived and the Medical Center EMS was advised of the situation.
The deputy retrieved his trauma kit from the back of his patrol unit and another deputy applied a chest seal to the individual while awaiting the EMS.
The EMS arrived on the scene and transported the patient to the hospital.
Madison County Sheriff’s Deputies remained in the area to assist the JPD – if requested – and held the East perimeter during the K9 track.
