Jackson County Sheriff's Deputies responded to an anonymous citizen's report of a shooting at 4357 Dickson Road near Greenwood Monday morning. While deputies were on their way to the scene, a second call was received from a woman who said she had been shot.
When deputies reached the scene shortly before 1a.m., they found 47-year-old Lonnie Lee Baxter on the floor suffering from a gunshot wound. A second person, 38-year-old Gianna Simmons was also in the home. She had been shot multiple times.
Baxter was pronounced dead on the scene. Simmons was transported to an area hospital where at last report she was in critical but stable condition.
Simmons was hospitalized for treatment and at last report was in critical but stable condition. Sheriff's Investigators were called to the scene and were quickly able to identify a suspect in the case. Danny Tyrone Jackson, age 36 of Gordon, AL (formerly of Malone, seen above) was arrested and charged with an open count of murder. The investigation is continuing and additional charges are expected.
Investigators indicate they are also looking for another person of interest in the case. Clarissa Howard, a 31-year-old female (seen at left), is being sought for questioning. She is believed to have been at the home at the time of the shooting. She is also wanted on an outstanding warrant for state parole violation.
