I Investigated the Murder Capital of America...

This worse than Memphis. This worse than Chicago. Man, we in Mississippi right now.

Jackson. >> Jackson is the murder capital of the world. >> With homicide rates 15 times higher than the national average, Jackson, Mississippi is the murder capital of America.

But why are people killing each other? And who is doing the killing? >> Full up, [ __ ] What's up?

>> Got it. Both got killed, man. You know, man, we out here trying to get that get back.

>> Two houses from that church. I robbed them at their house and they shot me. I got shot 10 times.

All up on them. >> Got a hold of my >> y this thing. >> They going to have to call national guardian.

>> They get buried on the ground, but I ain't going to tell nobody. >> We don't tell y'all that they people that that they taking boys ass in prison just to scare you. They doing that for real.

>> Probably like 7 years old and I seen a [ __ ] shot in the head in Georgetown. Turn me up to make me want to go do it. Shoot shoot in the head.

>> Am I safe? >> Your skin color. >> If you come down through this [ __ ] I'm going to pray for you.

Before I talk to the YN's running the streets out here, let's go talk to the average Joe just trying to survive in this third world war zone. >> I hear it's the murder capital of America in 2025. Would you believe that?

>> Well, I've been hearing that, too. Well, like I said, having killings every day. >> If I don't get out street, somebody going to kill me.

They wouldn't even kick me in the right place. >> One thing about Jackson, >> tell me, >> man. Man, you're almost if we got it, bro.

And you come try to take it. >> What are you going to do? No.

I want you to cut this part though. >> You feel me? >> Yeah.

Cuz you trying to take something that we work hard for. You feel me? Everybody can't get no job around here, bro.

They backgrounds and [ __ ] Convicted feeling. >> Have you seen any other acts of violence out here while you've been here? >> It's every day.

>> Every day. >> Have you ever felt like your life was threatened at any point out here? >> Yes.

I'm a different ethnicity and their prejudice. >> Was it white people threatening you? >> Black people.

I'm an Indian. >> Okay. They just don't like what they don't understand.

>> Everybody got guns. Oh yeah. You can't help but escape from it cuz it's too many guns in it.

That's what they need to quit selling guns. Especially high power submachine gun. Them military guns.

They not citizen guns. >> Well, what we need really help is with the homeless children that's on drugs and get a center for them >> and then have someone that's dedicated to taking care of the elders. >> And any advice for the kids?

M big zoo. >> Is there a lack of education out here? >> I have six college degrees and I can't even get a job.

>> Has it gotten better or worse in the last 20 years? >> Gotten worse. >> Worse.

And do you stay strapped out here? >> No, I don't have to. No, everybody pretty much stay to their self.

You ain't got to stay around that type of person that deal with that type of life. You just walk away. >> Oh, I mean like if you don't have to come out here, please do not come out here.

>> D could be my blood brother. We probably started out hustling together, but my brother, his hustle just stronger than mine and he done ran away more money than me. You got [ __ ] back in this.

>> Even your blood brother? >> Yeah. Hell yeah.

They cousin. >> Oh, it's pretty chill. You know, you know, a little bit of gang violence.

>> A little bit of craziness, but you guys look so look like some bright young gentlemen. You guys go to school doing your homework. >> Yeah, we just came back from school.

Like, >> any advice for the kids out there? >> Don't do drugs. >> They going to have to call the National Guard.

too much gang bow and don't tell them where you might get shot at. You can be at a toast sto and purchase a drink or potato chip. >> Rough in the swag.

Plus, we young and we black. They rather see a slank crack than make a meal out this rap. You know what I'm saying?

So, you know, we just do what we got to do to maintain to the game chain. >> Has it always been that way? >> Oh, it's been scandalous about that.

You got to know that they need to get these street together cuz the youngster taking over. >> How often do you hear gunshots out here? >> Just about every day.

The youngster with the gun, they not even mature enough to buy no gun. So they do whatever they want to do. >> Not like back in your day, right, for self-defense.

They they got they spray and prey. >> If they shoot, they'll shoot five or everywhere. >> What's the number one thing Jackson, Mississippi needs right now?

>> To get together, stop all this uh unnecessary shooting and killing to try to come together and um you know, bridge the gap between the OG's and the YN. The YN's much crazier than the OG's. Were they raised differently?

You said, "Yeah, >> they yolo. They're going to rob you. >> They don't play, right?

" >> No, they don't play. >> You know, we living for the W. They don't even know it, but we living for them.

>> One time my tail got shot. See, I got holes in my holes. >> It's on the outside.

>> And we're just burning some trash right now. >> Pretty much, you know, some stuff I picked up out the gutters. You know, I be cleaning up around Jackson.

So, a lot of stuff. >> Oh, right on. Is that your business or just to help the community?

>> Well, we just trying to fight the blight. You know, it's so much, you know. >> Yeah, I respect this a lot.

>> Yeah, we we got to have it. >> Having gun shows every two weeks before Trump got in office. So, gun shows most definitely.

There's more guns than people. You already know in 2021, man more guns sold in the United States than ever before in America. Be surprised the kind of people that actually live in these spots.

>> People are living. >> And these abandoned properties out here were a dime a dozen with blight and decay littered all throughout the city. >> To my left, some fire damage.

Abandoned homes out here are not that rare. In the winter when it gets colder, you'll have people come in here that are living on the streets, do some drugs, burn the place down on accident. I mean, these places become a glorified trash dump right here.

If you take a look, I hate to be dramatic, but the blight is real. If you drive down through Jackson, Mississippi, you will see a lot of homes like this. Blight everywhere.

I'm not sure if someone owns the property or if they're squatting. But my whole point is, you really can't tell if it's an abandoned property or if someone has made it their own for the night. And out of curiosity, I inspected this house to see if I could interview a squatter living here.

>> Excuse me. Hello. >> Definitely a bando.

Yeah. Hello. What the Hello?

Checking in. Wondering if I could interview you. Come on in.

>> I don't think anyone's home. Hello. Question for you.

Well, for example, this place appears to be fully abandoned with a microwave, and I think it's all run via generator somewhere cuz I do not think anyone's paying the electricity bill. America is so rich, even the bandos have flat screen TVs. >> You Hey, question for you.

Do you live here? >> Oh, okay. Sorry.

We were just exploring some abandoned homes out here, but I I just walked through. Is that your crib? >> Yeah.

>> Oh, that's my bad. My name's Tyler. Sorry about that.

Question for you, though. This is no judgment. How often do people find a home that's sort of out here and just sort of make it home for a month or two?

>> So, as long as somebody don't come tell them to move. >> Yeah, pretty common. >> Yeah.

>> Do the police get on people's nuts out here if they try to make this their home for a month or two? >> Depends on the owner. If you come take on the propert keeping it up and stuff, you know, they ain't going to come.

>> Cuz if someone like you in here keeping the place nice, maintaining it, it's almost a plus for the whole city, right? >> Yeah. >> How much does a place like this go for?

>> 5,000. >> 5,000. Probably a dollar from the city, but 5,000 from the owner.

Probably get his money back, paying the taxes. >> Feels like every other block out here, you'll find a spot like this big abandoned property. You got to wonder, how does a property get to this point?

>> One can really only speculate. But as Jackson is one of the fastest shrinking cities in the nation, one of the poorest cities in America, and the murder capital, I can't see why anyone would be itching to open, much less keep their business here. So, I met up with Nico, the biggest upand cominging rapper in Jackson, to understand what people do to survive and thrive in America's murder capital.

Nico, biggest rap name out here in Jackson. Is that accurate? >> Did you say so?

>> How many guys out here live in the hood and are in the streets? What percentage of them? 50/50.

You >> heard that [ __ ] >> Oh, man. You You missed like 100. >> Lego.

>> What do you think that was just now? I hope they just playing with that gun. >> Yeah.

How common is that? Every day they still going, bro. >> Yeah, they probably been shooting.

>> Look, this guy shooting the tree. These folks at a really like that for real. >> Yeah.

>> They scared we work 9 to5, you feel me? I'm 12. >> You working a 9 to5?

>> I'm 13. I ain't the police, but we work just about moving around. You feel me?

We're not working a job. >> Not working a job, but working. Making that money.

Okay, understand. >> Tell about them grades. >> Oh, yeah.

Good grades, too. >> Yeah. Straight A's, >> man.

What? >> A's and B's. >> You want to see?

>> Yeah. Let's see your report card. All right.

What do we got? What do we got? Okay.

Mostly A's and B's. There we go, man. I'm proud of you.

I'm proud of you. Keep that up. And you were telling me we were hearing the gunshots in the background.

Is that someone resolving a conflict? Is that sport usage of a gun? What do we think?

>> Nine times out of 10 is the first thing you said. >> Do the cops even show up to something like that? >> If you call them, nah.

>> But who's calling the cops out here? Right. >> If they did, yeah, they going to show up.

But if you just call them, say somebody shooting, they ain't coming. They ain't going to come get shot, too. kids out there on this.

>> What? Where did this come from? Thought you show me book uh books and uh homework.

>> Yeah, that what we working for right there, man. We ain't working for that. >> Is this your money?

>> Uh I don't for candy. >> Well, this is from selling candy. >> Yeah.

Saving. >> No joke. >> No, for real.

>> You got more money than uh most adults I've met in my life. And there's more. There's more.

My god. >> They just don't know how to work a 9 to5. For real.

>> Candy. >> Don't drop that money. This is real.

This isn't prop money either. >> I know what going on. >> What?

All over Canada. >> You got an entrepreneur over here. How old are you?

>> Okay. Damn. I know.

12. I'm 13 cuz I >> 12 years old. >> That one flew over my head.

You're a smart kid. You're funny. Young hustler out here with a literal bag of cash.

Good for you. Keep that cash safe. >> Keep it safe.

>> Yeah. >> You see all my security? >> Okay.

I'm He's secured and protected. >> They got to have some guidance. Just just like him.

>> Yeah. >> If I ain't had him with me every day telling him to sell some candy, what you think he'll be selling? >> Crack.

>> Okay then. Crack. >> But he got >> different types of candy.

care about them and tell them to go in this direction instead of that direction. You feel me? >> How common is that?

>> It ain't common. They don't. >> The young young kids now are are reckless and dangerous.

>> Where have you seen [ __ ] that's at school that go to school with you with gun? >> Switches, AR, buttons, all. It's a lot.

>> What grade did you notice kids bringing guns to school? >> Seven, eight. >> Seven.

>> It's a little 12y old bought a gun to >> you. You saying seven, eight years old? >> Yeah.

I >> Kids are bringing guns to school. >> Yeah. I was just in kindergarten.

Okay. >> It was like a little 12th or eighth grader stole he daddy guns bought it to school. >> Oh man.

To the kids out there watching, you don't got a trap. You don't got to rap. You can just be out here honest honest hustle.

>> Get some money with your broke ass. You feel me? >> While this kid made a small fortune running a candy selling empire at school, I met up with some running the streets to understand a more violent lifestyle they've chosen to earn their bread.

>> Yeah. So you say stay right with the Lord. Like what point does it end?

Right. Cuz he takes your brother, you take his brother, and then just keeps going back and forth. >> It don't stop.

Like my big brother Fred said. >> Yeah. >> It don't stop.

>> Just can't end once. >> Stop. Once you in the game, you forever in the game.

Ain't no getting out this [ __ ] >> Like on the way out is a box. You hear? It just that real.

>> You would never just like move to a different city and say this or >> Yeah. I tried this before. >> Well, I'm sorry about your brother, by the way.

>> Hell yeah. And right as our interview got real, some undercover cops pulled up around the corner, causing these guys to peel out. And after meeting some guys running the streets, I met up with an ex gangster who left it all behind after spending 13 years behind bars.

But real quick, >> don't wait to leave you in. >> There are some things so insane YouTube won't let us upload. >> It show that.

But luckily, you can watch it all on patreon. com/tyler Olivera and to get early access to these videos for five bucks a month. Thank you for your support.

Back to the murder capital. I'm here with >> Arenio. >> How is Jackson, Mississippi?

>> Rough. Rough and rugged. I'm previously just getting out from doing 13 years in prison.

>> Okay. >> So, uh, I tow the community down before I left. So, I'm out here now trying to uplift the community.

>> What were you doing before your uplifting the community? How did you end up in prison, >> man? I was robbing and killing.

>> Yeah. >> You know, being honest, you know, I ain't going to sugarcoat it. I I was robbing and killing.

I grew up in poverty. >> Yeah. >> You know, I uh my mama weren't fortunate to have uh the things everybody else had.

When I was going to school, I used to see kids with Jordans on and uh I had buddies on. I wanted the same thing the other kids had. So, my only ways was to get it is to go out and take.

>> How was your life when your brother went to prison? I mean it was like a little rodeo but in certain situations I still maintain through it but my brother was still helping me throughout him being incarcerated. >> Were you also on the streets living that fast life when he was locked up?

>> I mean at a little period of time >> until he actually just got to talking to me and telling me slow down or moving too fast and he didn't want me out here and everything. And I ask these questions not to glorify that life, but to get some honest perspective from someone who's been in and is now out. What's some advice for the kids?

Because right now, Jackson's ranking the murder capital of America right now per capita. >> Talk to someone. >> Yep.

>> You know, uh, a lot of kids be in dark places and they feel like they can't talk to no one. I feel like if they be able to talk to people and get it off their chest, then it'll it'll be better. We can help them more.

We can't help no one that we don't know what they going through. You know what I'm saying? My mom was a uh single parent mom, so she got seven kids.

Uh >> my dad was on drugs. Eventually, my dad got himself together, but before he can get itself together, it was like too late. You know what I'm saying?

I was already out doing what I was doing, caught charges and everything. I did 13 years and 9 months. So, within that period of time, I lost all my friends.

Almost every friend that I had that I grew up with to murder. >> Okay. They're dead.

>> They dead. They gone. >> Do you think if you were not locked up, you would have died or gotten murdered?

>> Yeah, cuz I was shot 10 times before I went to prison. Two houses from that church. I robbed them at that house now and they shot me.

I got shot 10 times all up on shot up. >> You know what I'm saying? Yeah.

>> That does not look pleasant. >> My advice to kids is >> don't do what I was doing. It was a lot.

Then I got out and I had a baby. It really opened my eyes up. What's the difference you've noticed between the Yans today and sort of the gang violence back in your day?

>> Because like today is different because I had to I had to do what I did. >> Yeah. >> I didn't have anything I I had to do.

Now you are dude mom and dad may be a millionaire and he out here with guns and you know robbing and and and killing for nothing >> just >> for fun. >> I mean it's the white ends you got the older people. is just basically everybody just pushing and my brother currently he he's basically on me every day.

He said pushing me to do something positive every day. >> My thing is I'm going to be telling people about um you know prison. We not glorifying prison.

I want you to know what's going on in prison. We don't tell y'all that they raping people that that they taking boys ass in prison just to scare you. They doing that for real.

They'll do it for nothing just because you looking the wrong way. I want to bring awareness of what's going on. You know what I'm saying?

>> After hearing about the brutal reality of prison, I met up with some guys who have no plan of walking away from a life on the streets anytime soon, no matter where it might lead or what it may cost them. I'm here with >> Jimmy J the biggest >> K3 press. >> And who's the crew behind me?

>> 38 hunting limp Scotty Zo. >> And who's behind us? >> So we got them guy with >> Wow.

>> Oh [ __ ] Oh, I heard it blink. >> By the grace of God, I survive another day. >> How was it growing up out here?

>> Yeah, as a kid, like just doing kid [ __ ] everybody going outside having fun. But for me, it was good. Like I ain't just say I had a bad childhood.

Like your typical neighborhood [ __ ] you got killing, poverty, riving, all that. But you know, you got to make it out. Try to get you some money.

Everything else be some some [ __ ] But we ain't worried about that. >> Really like everywhere else, man. Good [ __ ] bad [ __ ] Really what you make it to though.

You know what I'm saying? In the blink of an eye, anything. you know, shooting, killing, robbing, whatever like it going on.

>> I've been dropping singles back to back to back doing videos. I just opened up for a homecoming for Demoolog. >> Hey, can we hear a little taste of the art?

>> Oh yeah, for sure. >> I've been trapping all day, [ __ ] I ain't missed a sale. Cheating on my [ __ ] lately.

I've been playing with my scale. I've been chasing all my lean exotic weed prescription meds about that [ __ ] [ __ ] you dying. >> Hey, real quick.

So, bro, we got school books in the backpack or what? >> Type [ __ ] >> Oh, [ __ ] I didn't see that. That is quite the movie prop.

Yeah, that's prop. >> How easy is it to get your hands on a movie prop like this? >> Like a lookalike movie prop?

Gun show coming down here damn near every month you might get a gun. >> Oh [ __ ] you got a movie prop too. That came out of nowhere.

And it seems quiet out here. >> That's really not a good thing over here. That's really when it's bad like it be so quiet.

Next thing you know, you going to hear nothing. Somebody probably been got killed two streets over. >> You hear pop and then >> bro.

People been dying from getting stabbed 17 times out here. Like it go down in a heartbeat. Check them out.

>> We know them. >> No, for sure. It's good.

It good. It good. >> And you guys are ready?

>> No, for sure. At all time. Guys, even all behind the camera with them things.

You see what I'm saying? Like, >> oh, we have private security behind us. >> No, for sure.

It going on. >> That [ __ ] just really be crazy, bro. Like, you see a different murder every day.

Every day. Every day. And it be the young [ __ ] It be the young generation like 13, 14, 15, 16, up to my age, 22.

Like, godamn. Like >> if if I'm minding my own business, trying to live a nice peaceful life, will the danger find me? >> Damn near.

>> You got to know somebody, bro. RP, my boy Super, he got killed in the club. You feel me?

I got shot that night, too. A couple my guy got shot. You feel me?

>> Why? >> Situation already going on. And you know, one of mines ain't really listen to me, whatever.
