My prayers go out to families of those involved, especially those of the man who was senselessly killed.

I know it won't be long before people come on here like yesterday and start villianizing the victim. Before you do that, consider the family. We can debate all day long about whether or not people should be out at night or where they should be, but ultimately, it will not bring this young man back.

Once again family, I'm extremely sorry for your loss. I can't begin to understand what you are going through.

Chuck was a very nice young man. Someone mentioned in a comment to be mindful of his family when making comments-so true. They are going through a tough process right now. We have to also pray for and remember his 3 month old son who will never know him. I am going to miss you Chuck. My prayers are with you and your family.

How in God's Green Earth can you "Crazed Cyco Kid's" take the life of a living human being with a beating heart? It sounds like a "get into a gange" type of killing to me. But God Forbid...he was an innocent hard worker from the sound of the artical. I can only immagine the traumma the parents of the killed victim's Family must be going through.

Family, you have all my prayers to God for blessings and recovery...May God Rest His Soul.

I fear the vilence in kids today but with God at our right hands...whom can be against us Amen. Pray Adams Co... Pray that it isn't your only Son next time. My son barley excaped the killing that was ment for him years ago from messing with Pot in High School. Dear God I pray...Please Mom's & Dad's...get your High Risk Kids into Church and more pleasent things in life...me, I took him and moved to Florida to save him. That was in 2000, his Senior Year at Natchez High. He's still there but I am back. He's found a new life and his sister's are with him...Praise God. I really feel that the kids of today are numbed to the violence because of the Video Games they play on a daily basis. I have only gotten glances of the games because I forbid them in my home & also, no MTV, Super Natural Movies, etc. Our children need to be supervised 100% untill an accountable age of 21. I know it's hard with Single Mom's and working parents but someone can keep an eye...at least let them think they are under an eye from a neighbor or something. My heart is sad for all the family's pain and grief. It didn't have to happen. Also...maybe the bullet was ment for the owner of the car...Please be careful and investagate that theory Mom of the other child. With all my love and prayers too Our Children, Our Town and all that are hurting, "In Jesus's Name" Amen

I loved this young man as if he were one of my own. He grew up with my nephews making him a part of my family. My heart goes out to his mother and sisters. I am going to miss you Chucky...Rest in Peace my baby.

He left the scene, momentarily, PANIC STRICKEN over what he had just witnessed and RUNNING for his life to a nearby relative's home. How do I know!? He's my son!
While it is true, the violence needs to stop; so does the flow of assumptions.
My heart goes out to the family of Charvius, the murdered young man; to the family of Jordan who has to endure what he did; but even moreso to my stepson~because he SAW THIS and has to find a way to stop the nightmares and come to grips with seeing another human being, whom he knew, die senselessly!

I drove around North/South Circle a few weeks ago to take a look at a house for sale over there. I though I might get it, fix it up and have family live there. NO WAY is that goinna happen now.
***
As I drove past the north east side of North Circle I saw a couple of fellows standing in the shade of a tree there. One of them was wearing the standard red/black/white of the "Bloods" California gang with the red cap cocked at that prescribed angle. Sheriff Ronny has denied that there is any gang activity around Adams County when speaking to the public but the truth is there ARE gangs in and around Natchez and he knows it.

I don't understand why young people are riding around with guns in Natchez. Is this a warzone? When something like this happens, I can almost agree to banning weapons, because some who own them have no idea how to handle the responsibility of ownership. Was the gun involved in the shooting a registered weapon or illegally owned? Why on earth were these young people riding around with weapons in their hands?

I hope this was an accident, but still a young life has been ended too soon. My condolences to the family of the victim.

Such a sad thing. We have all known loss and some of us know parents who have lost a child. To lose a child in this way has got to be one of the most horrible events that could happen to a family. Let's not forget the families of the other two. Even the shooter's parents have lost a child! My heart goes out to all of them.

Who was the bullet intended for? Are you saying the bullet was intened for your son? Ok, so your son was the owner of the car, who was the passenger that ran off, but then came back after the cops arrived. You said your son ran because he was afraid for his life, but you didn't say why there were weapons in the car.

Every one on here needs to be thankful for what they got and leave the detective thing to the police. It does not matter who had weapons and who did not. A life was lost, a good friend will see his friend die in his dreams for the rest of his life, and a 18 year old will be in prison for the rest of his. There are so many people hurting from this. Natchez or any other city has the same problems. No matter where you live you will hear or see the same thing go on. I know because I am from Jena, La. Look what happened there a year ago and that was finally brought to the public eye when it has been like that for at least 28yrs or better.

I'm sorry for the lost of all involved. I am also sorry for your lost also, Butterfly. Don't let the comments on here worry you or make you feel even worst. I don't know what your stepson and his friends were doing, and I'm not going to try to figure out. What's done is done. I know some of these comments are unfair, inconsiderate, and hurtful, but this happens all the time by the same group of people. You are not the only one. So, try to look over it, and I know it won't be easy. You and all families involved have a long mourning ahead, so all I can say is the hope that God stay with you, look to him when everyone else turns away. Just because someone lived a certain way, they don't deserve to die. God has helped the worst of us.

50 was cool as a fan with me, but some of you are trying to make it like he was this upstanding citizen, when that just was not the case. I knew him and his family well, 50 did have the opportunity to do right, because he had a good job, a girlfriend who loved him and they just had a beautiful son. But he still chose to include himself in a lot of bull, that the streets had to offer.

What difference does it make what time of the day it was and what they were doing. People are so narrow minded that they think if you out late at night you are up to no good. They think because you are young and black you are up to no good, but there is no excuse for what happened to CHUCK. CHUCK was a good person and was murdered without good cause so think about that when you are assuming something. Everybody does not live their life by other peoples standards and CHUCK was one of those people.

I feel sorry for the family of Chuck. True chuck was no saint, but no one is. No one deserve to have a life taken the way he did. I would like to sent prayers out to the family of Chuck, and I will like to tell Shaun keep your head up in have faith in GOD, everything will be alright. Your baby will no who it's father was,when the time come, but only you can allow it the opportunity. LOVE YA. just like chuck had a 3mo. old baby, alot people didn't no he has another one on the way. So may God bless both and hope they learn nothing but the best about their father regardless of his flaws.

These little thug wannabes need to take off the white tee shirt, pull their pants up, and start acting like humans.
Until then there will be no compassion or sympathy from this hootch.

Butterfly...keep your baby close. He will be going through this trauma for a long time. I can't even imagine what he is going through. I am so sorry for all of these babies because that is what they are babies with no direction. Pray and may the Father keep watching over you all....

Hey Swap, I did see that last message...I still don't agree tho. Ok, so let's assume that these lost souls are in denial; even though, the bible (Romans 1:20) says that since the beginning the attributes of God are clearly visible and people are without excuse when they deny the existence of God, and even Satan believes in God (he has to in order to exist). Unless one consciously makes the decision that there is a God, there would be no point in them seeking His Kingdom and repenting of sins they haven't yet realized. Therefore, the most important decision would be to decide whether or not to believe in God and learn from there.

My Condolences goes out to "Chuck" Family and Also to My friend who just had the 3 month old for him. One more thing you people need to get a life and stop all the FOOLISHNESS and put this situation as if it was someone in your family. There's not a family around here that is perfect, everyone has a bad one in the family somewhere, so stop the NEGATIVE talk and put these families IN YOUR PRAYERS (if you pray) & RESPECT THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

50 will be truely missed by all of us. there is nothin u can say bad about Chuck, he was always there to help anybody. he took good care of his baby, who my heart goes out to because he has to grow up not knowing his father. the only thing he have to remember Chuck by is pictures and stories from his family. Even though Chuck wasnt no saint, he was a Christian and he always did the right thing. My prayers go out to Tootsie and her family. No one can imagine how she is feeling right now. My prayers also goes out to Keyla, his girlfriend. She also has to raise a baby without his father. Chuck didnt deserve none of this and i believe everybody feels me on that. We Luv U Chuck N U Will Be Truely Missed! C U When I Get Dere!

Natchez, Natchez,Natchez.

I lived in Natchez for 15 yrs believe it or not in Roselawn for all 15 yrs, Guess why I moved? Well lets just put it this way, Roselawn was a nice little community I raised my kids there most of their lives, I helped out neighbors, I even got involved in the neighborhood watch untill the rest of the people involved got tired of going out and making rounds at night, and the police dept lost interest in our neighborhood watch. People started wanting out of our neighborhood because property values were going down. Then hud house signs started popping up all around the neighborhood.
Then guess what happened? The hoodlems started showing up stealing from outside our houses and then breaking in our houses, It got so bad for us at one point that my wife and I started carrying guns wherever we went, the older folks in the neighborhood started getting scared of our neighborhood and they started moving away.
As for this murderer ( Jordan Bates ) I had some dealings with him and his brother when they took my son's bike, and when they trashed my mail box, after I had gotten the police involved in the bike theft.
This just goes to show that when they start out being criminals at a young age it just esculates as they get older.
Natchez needs to wake up and focus on the future of their children.
Natchez is extremely hung up on the past and needs to look to the future to set positive goals for their kids. Because their kids are their future.
In closing I would like to express my condolences to the Martin family in their time of sorrow.

I too lived in Roselawn and guess what.....I STILL DO. Roselawn is not as horrible as some try to make it seem and EXCUSE me did you(timefertruth) say 'then the hud houses started showing up and the hoodlems started showing up stealing' what are you trying to imply only hoodlems live in hud houses? I think not! As for the three that where involved, I know each one of them personally and they are all good men.
I knew Chuck and he was a good person my church member and just like family to me, he was raised by a church going family and, every child he knew loved him. I know Jamar and he is my friend, neighbor and he also was raised by a good church going family. Jordan is also my friend and I know him very very well and the Jordan I know wouldn't have done this. He also has a loving mother who is hurting and crying every night because another mother is never going to get her son back and also she has to live with her son possiblly in prison for the rest of his life....How do I know?.....because she told me.
Sons and Daughters make there own decisons whether they be right or wrong, don't be so quick to blame parents because you don't know how a person raises or raised their child, just raise your children the right way. And one more thing when this world is over and done your opinion won't matter anyway only GOD's will.

My heart goes out to all three families:
Chavarius "Chuck" Martin's

Eric Jamar Hutchins'

and Jordan Bates'

you three are always in my prayers

I love all of you.
Much Love

I'm going to keep this short and sweet.

1.) Go to courthouse look up Jordans record.

2.) Reserch Roselawns past and present problems and decide for yourself

3.) I did not blame any parents, although parents are resposable for their childrens actions untill they are 18.

4.) Just because a person gos to church it ( does not make them a good person.)

5.) No not everybody that lives in a hud house is a hoodlem.

6.) Research the crime rates of neighborhoods that have went to hud housing, decide for yourself.

7.) (AND FOR GODS AND CHUCKS FAMILY'S SAKE DON'T CALL A COLD BLOODED MURDERER A GOOD MAN.) IT IS DISRESPECTFUL.

timefertruth you got a lot of nerve, 1st of all I'm not disrespecting anyone, Chuck was very close to me so by no means would I ever disrespect him or his family. I stated that they were all good men and from what I know about them they are. I'm not making any excuses for anyone because wrong is wrong but don't you disrespect his (Jordan's) family because they have feelings also. His family has nothing to do what he did or possibly could have done, and you blaming his parent or parents is non-sense. You need to focus on your own child and children because you can raise a child right but the child makes their own choices. All I'm saying is they were good men to me and you(timefertruth) need to start thinking before talking and typing because you sound like a racist idiot. Talking about "hud houses" why did that even have to come up and I know what you are thinking 'she must live in a hud house' but no I don't. Think before you speak. And put the shoe on the other foot if your son killed someone whether is be on purpose or acidental you wouldn't want people calling your child a Cold Blooded Murderer.

( ladykaye )

RACIST? STATING FACTS IS NOT BEING A RACIST!!!!!
This is about cold blooded murder, total disrespect of human life.
It has nothing to do with race, you need to go back and read the first comment I wrote and try and comprehend what it says.
Do you not have enough intellect to understand what you are reading?
I did not single out any race I was correctly stating the
FACT that hud houses bring down property values in a neighborhood, and the crime rate goes up in those neighborhoods.
As far as blaming parents for what their kids do, I stated another fact that parents are responsable for what their children do until they are 18 years of age.
I do feel sorry for Jordan's mother but I call them as I see them, I DO NOT feel sorry for Jordan! if he did not want the title of COLD BLOODED MURDERER then he should not have taken another precious human life.
As for my children, they have been told from the day they understood right from wrong that if they were to do something wrong they would have to pay the consequences.
As for NATCHEZ I was talking about it as a whole, the city and it's population need to get some positive structure for their kids or they will have another tragedy just like this one.
AS for( Idiot )you need to go back and read sentences TWO and THREE of this comment!

I understand perfectly what you stated and I'm not a bout to argue with you behind the monitor of a computer. All I want to know is who are you to judge anyone? and as I said before when THIS world is over and done it does not matter what YOU or ANYONE else thinks, GOD has the last say and trust me his judgement will be fair, so stop the name calling and go on with your LIFE and tend to YOUR CHILDREN. I could care less what you think and I'm sure the feeling is mutual, so get a life and let sleeping dogs lie.
