JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – The prosecution rested its case on Friday in the trial for the man accused of killing two people near the Hal’s St. Paddy’s Parade in March 2023.

On Friday, Jermaine McGee, an investigators with the Capitol Police Department, testified that he was at the scene of the crime after Joshua Spann, 27, and Jubilee Simpkins, 23, were shot and killed.

McGee said he collected three guns following the shooting. He also denied a suggestion by Jordan Cummins’ attorney that there was some sort of possible coverup in the investigation.

Cummins was seen on a video interview with law enforcement saying that the people who approached his vehicle had guns. McGee said that was not true based on video evidence.

According to the investigator, there was an attack inside the gold Malibu where Cummins and his girlfriend, Jenny Lukens, were sitting.

Kam Owens, who testified this week, claimed to see Cummins striking Lukens in the face. Owens said he got out of his car, went over to the Malibu and punched Cummins. He said Cummins then reached behind the seat of the car, pulled out a gun and began firing.

Spann and Simpkins died in the shooting.

Cummins was charged with two counts of first-degree murder, as well as one count of contraband.

Cummins’ lawyer, Bill Kellum, argued this is a case of self-defense and that there was no evidence that Cummins beat Lukens before the double homicide.

Lukens was arrested on Friday, June 23, 2023, in connection to the shooting. She was indicted by a Hinds County Grand Jury for hindering prosecution for her alleged role in the double homicide.

Cummins is expected to testify on Monday, June 17. Court will resume at 10:00 a.m.
