SUMMARY: The family of slain Jackson State University student Jaylen Burns is seeking answers after a second suspect in his death, Jamison Kelly, Jr., was released without bond. The shooting occurred on October 15 at the University Pointe Apartment Complex, where Burns was reportedly trying to stop a fight. His family, based in Chicago, has received minimal communication from JSU and the police, relying instead on local Jackson media for updates. They were not officially informed of the release of the first suspect, Joshua Brown, and are following the case through social media and news outlets. Despite attempts to contact JSU for comments on the investigation, WJTV has yet to receive a response.
