Key races include incumbent Justice Jim Kitchens defending his position against Republican-backed State Senator Jenifer Branning and a contest for the Hinds County Court Judge District Two seat between Bridget Morgan and Jimmy King.

SUMMARY: Homelessness is a pressing issue in Tupelo, prompting city officials to dismantle a homeless encampment near downtown. Veronica Mahia reports on the situation, highlighting how city employees began removing belongings and relocating individuals. One woman who lived under a bridge for nearly a year expressed her concerns over conflicts among residents and police interventions. Volunteer efforts, such as those from Emanuel Church of God in Christ, aimed to support the displaced individuals with food. Critics argue that the city’s actions lack consideration for the homeless population’s immediate needs, as the removal coincides with cold weather and scarce resources.
The removal of a homeless encampment in Tupelo has some people upset.
SUMMARY: Jackson Police Chief Joe Wade expressed horror over the recent shooting of a man in his 20s at the Rebelwoods Apartments, marking the city’s 97th homicide. The victim was approached for his Air Jordans and, after refusing to surrender them, was shot in the head. Wade condemned the prioritization of shoes over human life, highlighting the tragic nature of the crime. Community concerns are growing, especially from residents like Kenya Knotts, who worry about safety in the area, which has a history of violence. The victim was reportedly visiting someone at the complex when he was killed.
