Here are the top stories today in Jackson:

1. A company that the City of Jackson claims it "inadvertently paid" more than $100,000 is on track to receive another $82,500 in city funds. Last week, a jury ruled that the City owed Expert Professional Solutions (XPS) an additional $82,500 for services rendered in November and December of 2019. The city had taken the company to Hinds County Court to recoup $100,000 it had paid the firm for work on the city's water billing system, a project the city says XPS was not authorized to do. Following a brief trial, though, the jury found that the city owed XPS for the work and ordered Jackson to pay. (WLBT)
2. Jackson police are investigating a shooting that occurred Sunday evening at West McDowell Road. According to JPD, a man was shot multiple times by another male due to a domestic dispute. The victim was transported to a local hospital and was listed in stable condition, while suspect Coby Glover was arrested and put into custody. (WAPT Jackson)
3. Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba led City of Jackson officials to discuss the garbage-disposal contracting process with the public. At the event, the mayor disclosed that the City will focus on getting litter pickup and landscaping contracts. (Jackson Free Press)
