JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) - A Hinds County Chancery Court judge granted a temporary restraining order against a Jackson lounge on Thursday, January 23.

Leaders with the City of Jackson have been tying to shut down Dynamic Lounge & Grill, which has been in operation since April 2024 on J.R. Lynch Street. Councilman Vernon Hartley, Ward 5, said the city sees the lounge as a public nuisance.

Chancellor Tiffany Grove granted the order, which was filed by the city, saying that the City of Jackson provided preliminary proof to the court "of various dangerous and illegal activities occurring at Dynamic Lounge."

A drive-by shooting occurred outside the lounge on Sunday, January 19. Earlier this month, Jackson police said one person died and another was injured during a shooting outside of the business.

Hartley said neighbors have brought their concerns to him about the lounge.

“We had a lot of complaints about people driving down, parking in the streets, blocking driveways, loud music at 2:00 in the morning in a residential area on three or four roads," said Hartley.

Management at Dynamic Lounge & Grill said both shooting happened outside of their establishment. They have their own security.

Dynamic is really hurt about the incident that has taken place at Dynamic. We are praying for the families.

Grove said Dynamic Lounge will be temporarily closed to the public until a hearing on February 4, 2025, at 9:00 a.m.
