Jackson State student found dead inside a car on campus
A student was found dead inside a car at Jackson State University in Mississippi on Dec. 2, according to WLBT News. Flynn Brown was found dead of an apparent gunshot wound around 8 a.m. in a parking lot on campus.
The 22-year-old student was recently found inside of a Dodge Challenger. Bailey Martin from the Mississippi Bureau of Investigation confirmed that 20-year-old Randall Smith was in custody after being arrested for the murder of Brown. Martin said, “Smith has been arrested in connection to the JSU homicide that occurred yesterday.”
Brown played football in New Jersey at Mount Olive High School before going to college. His former high school coach, Brian O’ Connor, announced his death on Twitter.
“It is with a heavy heart that I am sad to say the Mt. Olive community and football family have lost one of their own. Flynn Brown, was killed yesterday morning while attending Jackson St. More info to come when I have. Thoughts and prayers to the Brown family.”
After Brown graduated from high school in 2019, he played football for Lackawanna College in Scranton, Pennsylvania before attending school at Jackson State in 2022. Brown didn’t play football for the school, however, had earned a roster spot on the team for the next season.
“He’s a very talented athlete, a quiet kid, hard worker” O’Connor said. “It seemed like he had things going in the right direction and was trying to get his degree.”
The president of Jackson State University Thomas Hudson, J.D. announced the tragic news on Dec. 2.
“JSU family, it is with a heavy heart that I confirm the death of a JSU student. The loss of a young person is always a devastating circumstance for our campus community. Our thoughts are with the family during this difficult time.”
