SUMMARY: The body of Dau Mabil was found in the Pearl River in Lawrence County, Mississippi. His brother expressed disbelief and devastation over the situation. There is disagreement between the family and authorities over the circumstances of Dau's disappearance. An independent autopsy was granted, and U.S. Rep. Bennie Thompson requested a federal investigation. Jackson leaders expressed support for the family and the Capitol police are leading the investigation with assistance from the Jackson Police Department. Police have not found evidence of foul play, but further testing is pending. The family's attorneys are urging a thorough investigation into the case.

SUMMARY: Willis Miller was sentenced to 45 years in prison for killing Paisley “Gabby” Frazier while drinking and driving. Frazier died in an ATV crash, and another child was injured. The incident occurred in April 2022 and Miller was found guilty of aggravated DUI and aggravated assault. Frazier's mother, Caprice Thompson, expressed relief at the sentencing but acknowledged the pain of losing her daughter. District Attorney Scott Colom emphasized the seriousness of drinking and driving, noting Miller was driving 97 miles per hour on the wrong side of the road. Thompson hopes the case serves as a warning about the dangers of drinking and driving.

SUMMARY: Three reports were released containing JXN Water's sanitation revenue data from October to December 2023. Jackson's chief financial officer met with JXN Water to discuss the discrepancies in the data, revealing that only 50-53% of the billed sanitation revenue was collected. Jackson Mayor raised concerns about a possible rise in garbage bills due to low collection rates. However, JXN Water defended itself, stating that their collections exceeded costs for the city's new garbage contract. JXN Water declined to comment further on the issue.
