MS mom whose son was shot by police gets CPS summons
SUMMARY: A 12-year-old boy, Aderrien Murry, is recovering from being shot by a police officer during a domestic dispute at his family's home in Indianola, Mississippi. His mother, Nakala Murry, is fighting to keep custody of him and his sister following a disturbing court summons from Child Protective Services claiming neglect. The family has filed a $5 million civil lawsuit against the city, the Indianola Police Department, and Officer Greg Capers. Their lawyer, Carlos Moore, believes the city's attempt to take custody of the children is intimidation and harassment. A court date is set for April 17 to determine custody.

SUMMARY: A Jackson city employee was fired following the discovery of benefits fraud within the Human Resources Department, as announced by Mayor Chokwe A. Lumumba. HR Director Toya Martin found misappropriated funds, prompting a police investigation that revealed additional irregularities. While the exact amount of embezzled funds wasn't disclosed, Lumumba termed it a “felony amount” and “alarming.” The city has alerted the Attorney General's and State Auditor's Offices. The fraudulent activity is believed to have occurred over several years, with no current information on other involved employees. Criminal charges are anticipated, and impacted former employees should contact the city.
