Jackson Police Deputy Chief Eric Wall says a 21-year-old man was shot in the right chest area.
From the initial investigation, Chief Wall says it appears the shooting happened on Detroit Street.
After the victim was shot, he ran from Detroit Street, south onto Martin Luther King Jr. Drive. He then collapsed at the intersection of MLK Drive and Grandberry Street.
The shooter was arrested.

Theres also a you-tube video taken by a witness. Shows the young man being taken away in an ambulance. Poor kid.
