SUMMARY: A 17-year-old girl in Grenada has been accused of killing her stepfather, Cleota Mayweather. The sheriff’s office is withholding her mugshot, as per the district attorney’s request. Mayweather’s body was found by sheriff deputies in a ditch along Black Valou Road in Glendor, Tahachi County, last month. He was reported missing by family members in August. Following an investigation by deputies from Tahachi and Grenada, Janilla Wright was arrested in Batesville. She has been formally charged with murder and is currently held on a $500,000 bond. Another warrant was issued for Cadarius Williams in connection to the case, but he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the warrant serving process in Laurel.

SUMMARY: In Jackson’s Democratic mayoral primary, Senator John Horn nearly avoided a runoff despite low voter turnout. Horn will face incumbent Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba in a runoff on April 22nd, after securing over 7,000 more votes than Lumumba. Many voters, including some who typically lean Republican, supported Horn for his hard campaigning and ability to get things done. However, Horn’s vote share fell short of the 50% needed to avoid a runoff. The winner of the runoff will advance to the June 3rd general election. Voters are seeking a mayor who is transparent and effective in managing city resources.
