The Jackson Police Department said in a Facebook post that it is conducting a homicide investigation in the 500 block of Cooper Road.

The department did not provide additional details in the post. The Jackson Police Department is the local law enforcement agency responsible for public safety and criminal investigations in the city of Jackson.

Homicide investigations typically involve detectives, crime-scene technicians and evidence collection to establish what occurred and identify suspects. Such investigations can lead to temporary road closures, increased police presence and requests for public assistance as officers canvass the area and gather information.

Police asked anyone with information to contact the department through its nonemergency number or the department’s official channels.
