11:34Now PlayingOn Sunday, September 25, Jaylen Lewis and a friend were driving around Jackson, Mississippi.
Somehow a reported traffic stop ended with Jaylen being fatally shot by State Capitol Police officers.
Bullet holes in his vehicle show officers shot Jaylen while he was still inside with the window up.
Those unidentified officers are on administrative leave while the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation reviews the incident.
This shooting is the fifth officer-involved shooting in the state's capital since July 1.
The State Capitol Police Department functions as a standalone subsidiary of MDPS and collaborates with existing sworn personnel. The move was made possible by a bill signed by Gov. Tate Reeves authorizing MDPS to acquire the capitol police in 2021.
This new division primarily patrols black communities from downtown, extending from Jackson State University to Interstate 55.
Jaylen's mother says no one has contacted her about what happened to her son, specifically, why the officers shot him.
We reached out to the Mississippi Legislative Black Caucus, the Mississippi Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials, The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation, The Capitol Police, and several Jackson, Mississippi, council members. We only got one response from a council member who said he hadn't heard of Jaylen's shooting.
