Man killed during home invasion

JPD issued the following press release. 

On Wednesday, May 10, 2017, at approx. 1:41 AM, Jackson Police Officers responded to 107 Barbara Dr. regarding a shooting. Upon officers’ arrival, it was learned that Fred Cooper-30, had been shot multiple times. He was pronounced deceased in the front yard of the residence.

During the course of the investigation, it was learned that the victim was inside the residence with his wife and another male occupant when an unidentified black male suspect kicked the front door open and began shooting. The victim was wounded, exited the residence and succumbed to his injuries in the front yard. The male occupant in the residence allegedly retrieved a handgun and fired a single shot at the suspect. There’s no evidence the suspect was injured. Investigators can’t confirm at this point if anything was taken from the residence. The suspect fled the scene in a black SUV, possibly a Chevy Tahoe being driven by an unidentified suspect.

The suspect is described as a black male, approx, 150-160 lbs., medium complexion, clean shaven and bald. He was last seen wearing dark colored clothing. Anyone with any information regarding this incident is urged to call police at 601-960-1234 or 601-355-TIPS (8477).

So sad.

No one kicks open a door and starts shooting without pre-thought motives. There is more to this story.

Given the history of these things, they should just look down the list of whoever is out on bond. I guess at some point, a criminal has to commit a first crime. But, it would seem the odds are against that.

Heartfelt condolences to the victim's family. I feel so much safer in Mexico, where I spend as much time as possible, than Jackson and its adjacent communities. And, no, I'm not Mexican. I'm a native Mississippian.

Then you are someone who lacks plenty of common sense.

Obviously, this was a personal vendetta! Nothing stolen, nothing missing - so this was a personal matter. It's still stupid that it even happened, but it's not like someone is going to kick in your door and just shoot you for no reason. Albeit, the reason may be crazy - it's still a reason this happened between these two people.

I'm not finding a Barbara Drive in Jackson. There is a Barbara Anne Drive in south Jackson. Is that it, or where are they talking about? Regardless, terrible incident.

Attn 1:09 there is a Barbara Street parallel to Cedars of Lebanon. Look it up on google maps.

107 Barbara Ave. West Jackson not North Jackson

Informed said...

This is Barbara Avenue, a short street off Clinton Blvd. This is very near my childhood home 50+ years ago. Can't go there no mo' -- it ain't safe. All news outlets have it correct -- even the Clarion-Ledger, believe it or not. WLBT has a map if you are interested.

Sounds like somebody sent his lemon pepper chicken wings back one too many times.

Wait...so the guy kicks open the front door, starts shooting, and shoots the victim. The victim then exits the house and dies in the front yard.

So did he ask the shooter to scoot over and let him through as he was exiting the house?

Something doesn't make sense here.

Across from Raines Elementary School.

That Monica could gets things straight real quick. (1:46)

Oh, Barbara AVENUE, not Drive. Got it now. Off Clinton Boulevard between Dixon and Westhaven. I've actually driven past it many times going to Lakewood Cemetary where my parents are buried. Thought it sounded familiar.

One news outlet showed a picture of the front of the home, in the driveway was a fairly new Range Rover and in the yard was a ten year old Cadillac. So what you've got is a person with fairly nice cars, living in a poor area, who had their door booted and was killed, likely targeted.

Smells drug related.

Think JPD would proof their releases a little more closely.

Look no further than the 'other man' in the 'front room'. He claims a dark man in dark clothes in a dark vehicle busted in and started shootin' and he returned fire after finding a pistola. And the victim, having been shot multiple times went outside and fell dead. Right.

What happened is the man who gave these details was having a man to man with the victim about the woman in the room and got pissed and plugged the victim seven times, threw him out in the front yard and hid the pistola. Then he claimed all this shit happened.

Truth will out. Shuler Smitt will get to the bottom of it. Just you wait and see.

7:02, finds his wife with another man, maybe, that should be sorted out if bullet evidence etc.

Won't be no 'bullet evidence', 7:02. The other man in the room had the good sense to dispose of the weapon in question, maybe with the assistance of the 'lady' in the room. The only weapon remaining is the one he says he conveniently found and shot at the 'man in dark clothes'.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.
