Pregnant Ayairia Anderson, Shot Dead, Off Industrial Drive on June 1 in Jackson, MS

A shooting off Industrial Drive killed a pregnant 21-year-old Jackson woman on June 11. The incident has been ruled a homicide, according to Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart.

Ayairia Anderson was eight months pregnant when she was shot in the head and leg late Saturday night after leaving Soop’s, a restaurant and bar on Country Club Drive.

She and other patrons left in a hurry when a fight broke out, according to Anderson’s aunt, Katina Eggleston, who said Anderson’s friends had attempted to revive her after calling 911.

Friends told Eggleston that while attempting to leave in her vehicle, Anderson was caught in crossfire, Eggleston said. The car she was driving crashed at an overpass.

Paramedics took Anderson by ambulance to UMMC, where she was placed on life support.

Jackson Police say an emergency C-section was performed, but unfortunately, Anderson and the unborn baby died.

Anderson had been preparing for the birth of a son.

If you have any information on the shooting, please contact the Jackson Police Department at (601) 960-1234 or Crime Stoppers at (601) 355-8477.
