SUMMARY: The Jackson Police Department is urging residents to help combat rising violence in the city after four shootings and three homicides during Thanksgiving, pushing the homicide count into triple digits. Chief Joseph Wade called for collective action from citizens, community leaders, and politicians to intervene, as law enforcement alone cannot resolve the crisis. With a 79% success rate in solving homicides, the department continues to investigate, but Wade emphasizes that breaking the cycle of violence requires the involvement of the entire community. He highlights that many victims and suspects are familiar with each other, attributing the violence to an institutional failure in conflict resolution.
