Bond denied for two charged in shooting at South Mississippi Fair
SUMMARY: Two teenagers, Akealeis McKensie and Jailen Shade, both 18 and from Laurel, have been denied bond after being charged in connection with a shooting at the South Mississippi Fair. A judge deemed them a threat to society and potential flight risks. McKensie faces charges of attempted murder and possession of a stolen firearm, while Shade is charged with attempted murder. The incident, stemming from an argument, resulted in the injury of 17-year-old Darren Duff, who was shot in the leg but is expected to recover. Investigators believe Duff was not the intended target.

SUMMARY: Jackson‘s Thalia Mara Hall is set to reopen on January 18, 2025, after being closed due to mold and other safety concerns identified in August. The issues stemmed from a malfunctioning HVAC system, leading to microbial growth and finding human waste on the premises. The State Fire Marshal’s inspection revealed mold, outdated fire extinguishers, and the presence of asbestos and lead. City officials are addressing these problems by replacing the air-conditioning system, conducting roof repairs, and updating safety measures. Repairs are ongoing to ensure the facility meets health and safety standards before reopening.

SUMMARY: Carly Gregg, a Rankin County teenager, was convicted of killing her mother and is appealing her life sentence for first-degree murder to the Mississippi Supreme Court. Her attorney filed a notice of appeal on October 18, seeking to overturn the verdict based on newly discovered evidence that they argue could lead to a different outcome. Prosecutors counter that the defense’s motion lacks specific legal grounds and maintain that the jury’s decision was correct. The incident occurred on March 19, 2024, when Gregg shot her mother and injured her stepfather, Heath Smylie, who reported the shooting to authorities.
