JACKSON, Miss. James Jimmy Johnson, a 56-year-old B.A.S.S. angler competing in the Bass Pro Shops Bassmaster Central Open tournament on Ross Barnett Reservoir this week, was shot to death Sunday night at a motel in Jackson, police confirmed.
Jackson Police Department spokesperson Colendula Green said Johnson of Ganado, Texas, was fatally shot at the Motel 6 at 7145 Interstate Hwy. 55 North in Jackson, where he and his wife were staying during the tournament. Police received the call at 7:48 p.m. Sunday. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Green told Bassmaster.com the incident is being investigated as a homicide, and police are looking for a black male who appeared on security cameras at the motel.
Details are limited as the investigation continues, but Chris Bowes, senior tournament manager for the Bassmaster Opens, said he received a call from a friend of Johnsons Sunday night saying that Johnson had discovered someone apparently burglarizing his bass boat. The shooting occurred after that.

Not to sound “elitist” or anything but I think his first mistake was “Motel 6”.

No, you don’t have to read the article to just KNOW the description of the suspect.

In the future, people will not only avoid urban areas, but also any place where blacks are known to frequent. Black crime is a cancer on this nation.

Maybe he didn’t realize there were feral animals wandering the streets.

Not too many places to stay if you are pulling a trailer with a boat and want it close to your room.
Try that without a 6 or 8 in the motel name.

Never stay in a city that has a mayor with the last name of “Lumumba”.

"Black crime is a cancer on this nation." And it doesn't have to be that way! That is the sad part. Responsibility isn't taught anywhere any longer for fear you will be labeled a racist. Even though there are way too many white feral animals who want to emulate them.
If the Obama's really cared about the children they would be talking about the REAL crisis in this country!

For those who might not understand...Most hotels/motels are crime zones and crime magnets.
They should be avoided like the plague.
