The Jackson, Mississippi, police chief told reporters on Monday that the hanging of Tasia Fortune, whose body was found on Aug. 3, was a "staged event" in a "a drug case gone very wrong."
Police Chief RaShall Brackney also said that authorities are still investigating and expect "more arrests to be pending," as well as "charges of conspiracy" to be filed against the three suspects who were already charged in her murder.
"This is apparently from what we can see, a drug case gone very wrong, in the ultimate death of Tasia Fortune," Brackney said.
"So at this time, we do know the manner of death was homicide. We also are confirming that this was a staged event, and often we know that these events are staged so that we can derail the investigation, pointing in another direction," she added.
Brackney's comments came after a third suspect was arrested on murder charges on Friday in the death of Fortune, a 29-year-old Black mother of four whose body was found hanging from a tree behind an apparently vacant Jackson home.
Jarques Ratliff, 51, Earnest Lloyd Jr., 25 and Eric Clark, 45, were each arrested and charged with murder. Ratliff pleaded not guilty during a hearing on Sept. 14. It is unclear if Lloyd and Clark have entered pleas or if they have retained attorneys in this case. Ratliff's attorney Toney Baldwin confirmed his client's not guilty plea to ABC News, but did not comment on the charges.

Too bad no one pointed this out in the Matthew Shepard case back in the day.
A report I heard yesterday said she was killed somewhere else and then the body was taken to the abandoned house and hung up.
They knew what they were doing. They were trying to make it either look like a suicide or it was whitey lynching black woman..............
Is the staging a race crime, I wonder if they were white would race staging of a white murder victim raise hate crime accusations and possible charges.
First it was a suicide, then a lynching and now a hanging
They haven’t gotten to execution, yet. Then, they’ll find a way to call it a mass murder, a gun crime, White supremacy, etc.
The latter I would say. And still, many in the "black community" will remember it as a racial lynching.
“They were trying to make it either look like a suicide or it was whitey lynching black woman”
the former happens quite a bit: sometimes the murderer gets away with it, but usually not, IF smart, capable, and diligent detectives and medical examiners are involved as there are a number of tell-tail circumstances and physiological differences between hanging before death and hanging after death ...
