An arrest has been made after surveillance video showed a box truck at a Jackson liquor store purposefully run over and kill a person.
Officers responded to Liquor Connection, just off Interstate 55, on Monday after the incident happened around 6:35 a.m. According to the video shared to Darkhorse Press, a white box truck driving the wrong way on West Frontage Road turned into the store’s parking lot. The footage then showed it stopped at the lot’s entrance, near the individual on foot. Within seconds, the truck’s driver quickly sped up and struck the individual as the person was walking into the lot.
The Jackson Police Department released more information Monday afternoon, saying a man by the name of Jamarl Chambliss, 35, has been taken into custody in connection with the incident and charged with murder. The victim’s name is being withheld pending next of kin notification.
JPD added that the investigation is still open, and if anyone has relevant information to share, contact Crime Stoppers at (601)355-8477 or the department at (601)960-1234.
