Police in Jackson, Mississippi, have arrested a man in the case of Tasia Fortune, the 29-year-old Black woman found hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house last month, following the state medical examiner ruling her death a homicide.
Jarques Ratliff, 51, has been charged with murder in connection with Fortune’s death, police said Friday. CNN is working to determine if he has legal representation. Ratliff will have his first court appearance Monday, police said.
“Last night, the medical examiner’s office officially classified Miss Fortune’s death as a homicide. With that determination, our investigators moved quickly,” Chief RaShall Brackney said at a Friday news conference.

Oh, but he is! And if they make a movie about this, he'll have to be played by Dave Chapelle.
Yeah. Early commie money on who caused this had to be white boys of the 3K persuasion. Probably won’t be much commie coverage now that a black fellow has been arrested.
The Mother of the young lady appears to be white. The young lady looks mixed. Will they parse that? Probably not. it will probably be tossed in the Memory hole and Anna Presley will probably continue to act like a white person did it and ignore the news.
Will AOC and the squad be discussing anymore?
Seems they would be interested in discussing the murder of a 29 year old mother of four. THEY DON’T WANT TO TALK ABOUT BLACK VIOLENCE.
You’d think after the first two incidents with the tree they would have cut it down. The term return to the scene of the crime to be a bit redundent after the first two.

Snip..."The killing of the mother of four has attracted national attention, both because of the severity of the crime and Mississippi’s brutal history of racist violence and lynchings.
Brackney acknowledged the media interest, but declined to discuss motive, other than saying the suspect, a 51-year-old Black man, knew Fortune."
Maybe he was hormonal.
Hey Yogi????
Don’t even bother Boo Boo...........
What do you mean? There is not even a remote possibility for it to be an “out of control, white supremisist, flag-waving, minority-hating MAGA zealot.” Not to mention so many qualifiers that the whole concept is meaningless.
