Authorities in Mississippi have launched a manhunt after two girls and a 2-year-old little one had been discovered dead in what officers referred to as a “horrifying” scene in the state’s capital metropolis of Jackson.
“Detectives are continuing to seek leads on identification and location of suspects,” police stated in a Sunday information launch.
The newest lead in the case is a crimson 2020 Mitsubishi Mirage belonging to one of many victims, which police stated was taken from the scene in the course of the crime. Police discovered the deserted car Sunday evening in North Jackson. Investigators are processing the car for proof, they stated.
Police responded Saturday evening to a 911 name reporting an aggravated assault at a house in a residential neighborhood lower than 10 miles northwest of downtown Jackson.
“What they found instead was something horrifying,” Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney stated at a news conference Sunday morning.
Inside, they found two girls, 26 and 30, and the 2-year-old, who had been shot a number of instances. Brackney advised NCS affiliate WAPT one of many girls was the kid’s mom.
“This is a heinous crime,” Brackney stated, calling the individual accountable “an absolute coward” and “the vilest of human beings.”
NCS has reached out to the Jackson Police Department for extra info.
