SUMMARY: In this week's edition of Driving Through Meridian, sponsored by JX, News 11's Nick Oele highlights the East Mississippi Veterans Memorial Park dedicated to the veterans of East Mississippi. This park, a collaborative effort of the East Mississippi Veterans Foundation established in 2018, honors military service members from the area, with a significant portion of the local population having military ties. Key features include memorial plaques, a RF-4C Phantom II jet, and planned additions like the Armed Forces Plaza and a UH-1 Huey helicopter. The park, open seven days a week and free to the public, serves as both a memorial and educational experience.

SUMMARY: Jackson Police are intensifying patrols in Jayne Avenue following a series of violent incidents. On Saturday, a three-year-old at Jayne Avenue Park was struck by a car driven by suspects who stole a family's vehicle at gunpoint. The child is recovering in the hospital. Police Chief Joseph Wade called the situation unacceptable and confirmed a manhunt for the suspects. Despite the crime surge, including a recent robbery involving a 14-year-old and the murder of a 43-year-old, the community remains active in the park. Police attribute the violence to gang activity and vow to restore safety through heightened law enforcement presence.
