SUMMARY: New text message evidence has emerged in the trial of William “Polo” Edwards, who is accused of murdering a local leader. The messages show conversations between Edwards and Shadow Robinson, who witnessed the crime. Robinson became emotional and described hearing shots and seeing the victim, Davis, face down on the floor. Robinson also revealed that she had a sexual relationship with Edwards after they met on social media, but she did not want a relationship with him. Emails were shared during the trial in which Edwards expressed extreme feelings for Robinson, including a statement that he would rather die than live without her. Robinson described Edwards as a stalker and labeled his behavior as psycho and conniving. More testimony from Robinson is expected during day three of the trial.

SUMMARY: Local shoppers in Tupelo are hopeful for a Target store after years of anticipation. Target filed plans in September for a store in the Barnes Crossing area near North Gloster Street and Interstate 22. The Tupelo City Council recently approved an agreement to incentivize the retailer, including infrastructure improvements to alleviate traffic. While some community members express excitement about the shopping options, Target has not confirmed its plans for Tupelo, as its future store openings do not currently include the city. Despite recent mixed earnings reports, company officials remain optimistic about their long-term prospects.

The City of Tupelo is now playing the waiting game for a possible Target store.

SUMMARY: A local nonprofit, Petal Healing Garden, is collaborating with the Forest County Agricultural Extension Office on the Grow a Row program to combat food insecurity. Volunteers can participate after completing a food safety course led by Jesse Tisdale. The program not only helps with food donations but also offers a chance for the community to reconnect with gardening, filling a gap left by the loss of agricultural education in local schools. Proceeds from the initiative will benefit the Edwards Street food pantry and the Petal Children’s Task Force in Hattiesburg.

One local agricultural extension office is teaming up with a local vegetable garden owner to train others on growing produce to combat hunger in the Pine Belt.
