Three former Jackson police officers are facing murder charges in the death of a man who died in their custody last year.
Avery Willis, Kenya McCarty and James Land were indicted last week on charges of second degree murder and manslaughter relating to the death of 41-year-old Keith Murriel on Dec. 31, 2022, said Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens. “We at JPD will continue to be transparent and we will continue to have accountability measures in place not only from the bottom up, but from the top down as we move forward,” Interim Police Chief Joseph Wade said during a Wednesday press conference.
