SUMMARY: A 17-year-old girl in Grenada has been accused of killing her stepfather, Cleota Mayweather. The sheriff’s office is withholding her mugshot, as per the district attorney’s request. Mayweather’s body was found by sheriff deputies in a ditch along Black Valou Road in Glendor, Tahachi County, last month. He was reported missing by family members in August. Following an investigation by deputies from Tahachi and Grenada, Janilla Wright was arrested in Batesville. She has been formally charged with murder and is currently held on a $500,000 bond. Another warrant was issued for Cadarius Williams in connection to the case, but he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound during the warrant serving process in Laurel. WTV 9 News will provide updates on the investigation.

SUMMARY: The Catholic Diocese of Jackson reflects on Pope Francis’ impactful legacy, highlighting his message of joy and simplicity. Mary Woodward, Chancellor of the Diocese, admired the dignity and simplicity of the Pope’s funeral, which exemplified his approach to life and leadership. Francis’ focus on marginalized communities and his efforts to build bridges rather than walls earned him respect across faiths, even among non-believers. His funeral was a significant moment, marked by images of the Pope at the Cathedral of Saint Peter in Jackson, with a red cloth symbolizing his connection to the Apostle Peter.

SUMMARY: Residents of West Jackson are frustrated by the long wait for street repairs. Mr. Johnson, a local, voiced his concerns over a growing pothole on Denver and Long Street, demanding full repairs instead of temporary patches. Despite some recent repair attempts, the hole persists due to ongoing water drainage issues from nearby apartments. City workers, including an employee named Isaac, explained that the water flow must be stopped before permanent fixes can occur. The area also suffers from illegal dumping, with tires being placed around the pothole as a makeshift barrier, further adding to residents’ frustrations.
