Trial date set for man accused of killing JSU student on campus in 2022
SUMMARY: The trial for Randall Smith, accused of murdering Jackson State University (JSU) student Flynn Brown, is scheduled to begin on November 4, 2024, at the Hinds County Courthouse. Brown’s body was found in a vehicle on campus in December 2022, having been shot in the head. Smith claims he acted in self-defense during a confrontation over stolen belongings, including doughnuts.

Brown’s family has also filed a wrongful death lawsuit against JSU, alleging negligence regarding prior thefts reported to the university.

SUMMARY: The Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) will initiate a hydro-demolition project on the I-55 bridges over the Pearl River in Jackson, following the Mississippi State Fair. MDOT Executive Director Brad White noted that the project is necessary due to significant bridge deck deterioration from heavy traffic. Starting October 15, two lanes will close at a time, while leaving two lanes open in each direction. The construction is expected to impact traffic until the end of 2024, with alternate routes suggested for drivers. The project is part of a $24.4 million contract awarded to Key, LLC.
