Flags to fly at half-staff across Mississippi in memory of natives killed in New Orleans terror attack
SUMMARY: Governor Tate Reeves has ordered flags in Mississippi to be flown at half-staff on January 9 and 17 to honor Nikyra Dedeaux and Matthew Tenedorio, two Mississippi natives killed in the New Orleans terror attack on New Year’s Day. The FBI confirmed the incident was terrorism, resulting in 14 deaths. Dedeaux, 18, was an aspiring nurse and described as “the sweetest person,” while Tenedorio, 25, was an audiovisual technician known for his positive spirit. Both were beloved members of their communities. Nearby, several others were injured, with one, Parker Vidrine, undergoing emergency surgery but later released from the hospital.

New cast, no problem: Ole Miss handles Georgia State in 63-7 blowout
SUMMARY: Ole Miss, after losing 18 starters, dominated Georgia State 63-7 in week one under coach Lane Kiffin. Sophomore QB Austin Simmons debuted with 341 passing yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions but improved as the game progressed. Running back Kewan Lacy led with 108 yards and three touchdowns, highlighting Ole Miss’ improved running game. The defense, led by coordinator Pete Golding, stifled Georgia State’s offense, allowing just 260 total yards. Special teams’ Lucas Carneiro contributed two field goals. Coach Kiffin praised Lacy’s versatility but noted inconsistency in the offensive line. Ole Miss next faces Kentucky on September 6 in Lexington for revenge after last year’s home loss.

SUMMARY: Seventy years after Emmett Till’s 1955 murder, the Mississippi Department of Archives and History acquired the gun used in the killing. Owned by J.W. Milam, who along with Roy Bryant murdered Till after false accusations by Carolyn Bryant, the gun and holster are now displayed at the Two Mississippi Museums in Jackson. The artifacts, donated by an unrelated family, help educate visitors on Till’s story and its impact on the civil rights movement. Till’s family expressed hope for more items to surface.
