Jackson police officials have issued arrest warrants for a teenager suspected of being involved in the killing of one person and the injuring of another person during a Thursday night shooting.
According to a Tuesday press release, 16-year-old Jordan Long faces murder and aggravated assault charges in connection to this case.
The Clarion Ledger typically does not publish names for minors but because law enforcement agencies named the minor and considered him armed and dangerous, he was named as a public service.
The news release states that detectives are working to identify additional suspects and more arrests are expected to be made.
On Feb. 8, the shooting occurred at approximately 11:50 p.m. in the 100 block of Covington Park Drive. The incident claimed the life of 20-year-old Jadamian Marquez Nichols.
