WEST POINT, Miss. (AP) — Authorities have charged a 24-year-old man with murder after six people — including a child — were killed in a series of shootings in northeast Mississippi.
Clay County Sheriff Eddie Scott said the victims — four family members related to the suspect and two other adults — were shot at three separate locations late Friday. The youngest victim was a cousin of the suspect. ... “I don’t know what kind of motive you could have to kill a 7-year-old,” Scott said at a press conference Saturday.
The suspect was identified as Daricka M. Moore. He faces a first-degree murder charge that could be upgraded to capital murder, Scott said. Moore may face additional murder charges as the investigation proceeds.
The shootings took place in the rural community of Cedarbluff, west of the county seat of West Point. ... “This guy (the suspect) wasn’t our radar,” Scott said. “This is family members that he went after.”
