Jackson Woman Charged with Murder in Fatal Shooting of Husband Following Argument About Social Media Request
JACKSON, MS – A 30-year-old woman, identified as Rashaan Wallace, has been charged with murder following the fatal shooting of her husband, 33-year-old Damion Reed, according to authorities.
Wallace made her initial court appearance, where she was formally charged in connection with the February 23 incident.
Jackson Police Department detectives reported that the shooting occurred after Reed allegedly attacked Wallace during a dispute.
Investigators revealed that Reed had access to Wallace’s social media account and had become angry over a friend request she had made.
The situation escalated, leading to a confrontation inside their home.
Authorities state that Wallace initially fired a warning shot as Reed approached her.
When he allegedly refused to back down, she then fired a second shot, fatally wounding him.
Jackson Police Chief Joseph Wade confirmed that a child was inside the home at the time of the shooting.
Following the shooting, Wallace, a licensed practical nurse, performed CPR on Reed and called 911 in an attempt to render aid.
Despite her efforts, Reed succumbed to his injuries.
Wallace was taken into custody and is currently being held at the Hinds County Detention Center in Raymond.
A judge set her bond at $50,000, and she maintains that she acted in self-defense.
The case remains under investigation by law enforcement.
