About 100 people gathered in Como last Thursday night for a vigil honoring the memories of Cearea Jackson and her grandmother, Emma Jackson, who were shot to death November 27 in their home. The suspect, Quendarius Robinson of Batesville, was arrested November 30 and remains in the Panola County Jail.
Among those mourning the deaths were (front, from left) Joe Powell, Rachel Powell, Eloise Jackson, mother of Cearea and daughter of Emma; Tony Davis Jr., brother of Cearea; Quendarius Robinson, son of Cearea. Directly behind them is Ruby Higgenbottam, Como alderwoman who addressed the crowd.
