Mother, acquaintance charged in brutal death of one-year-old
SUMMARY: A one-year-old child was found severely beaten and unresponsive at Sunset Apartments in Jackson, marking the 108th homicide in the city this year. The child's mother and her acquaintance are charged with felony child abuse, but the charges may be upgraded to capital murder pending further investigation. The whereabouts of the acquaintance are unknown, and federal authorities are assisting in his apprehension. Four other children at the residence are now in the custody of Child Protection Services. The police chief, deeply affected by the incident, noted that the abuse likely did not start on the day of the child's death.

SUMMARY: After storms with a cold front, northeast Mississippi will experience dry and clear weather this weekend. Saturday and Sunday will see high temperatures in the lower 90s, with partly to mostly cloudy skies and low chances (20%) of isolated showers. Night temperatures will drop to the low to mid-70s, creating warm and muggy conditions, and heat indices could exceed 100. Next week, remnants of Beryl will impact the area, likely bringing rainy days and potentially gusty winds from Tuesday to Thursday. Beryl is expected to weaken into a tropical depression as it moves inland, passing near the area by mid-week.

SUMMARY: A Hattiesburg man, Tobias Smith, was arrested for allegedly making a bomb threat against Georgia Pacific Plywood in Smith County, Mississippi. The threat, received via text on July 5, led to the evacuation of employees. Smith, 27, was apprehended at the scene and charged with one count of terroristic threats. Before employees returned, bomb dogs searched the site for explosives. Smith is currently held at the Smith County Jail, awaiting a bond hearing. The investigation is ongoing, and anyone with information is urged to contact the Smith County Sheriff's Office.
