Bail was denied for a Vicksburg man accused of stabbing a woman to death Wednesday night at her home on Grammar Street. 

Municipal Judge Toni Terrett declined to set bail in the first-degree murder case against Derrick Ramone Hall, 34, who said during the hearing he lives at 2200 Short Main St.

Hall made no statements other than to answer routine questions from the judge during the hearing but spoke briefly to officers in the hallway leading to the courtroom before his initial appearance.

“That (expletive deleted) was crazy,” he said.

Hall is accused of fatally stabbing 31-year-old Kathryn Peacock at 1224 Grammar Street. Vicksburg Police Chief Walter Armstrong described Hall as an acquaintance of Peacock’s.

No apparent motive for the killing has been released.

Police were called to the home at about 8 p.m., Armstrong said. Peacock was pronounced dead at 10 p.m., Deputy Coroner Ron Regan said.

Regan ordered an autopsy, but it was not completed Thursday.

Neighbors gathered near Peacock’s home Thursday who asked not to be identified said Peacock was a good neighbor who was employed at McDonalds and described the stabbing as a tragedy.

“It’s a sad day. She didn’t deserve for this to happen,” said one neighbor.

The neighbors said they were acquainted with Hall and were horrified that he is a suspect in the murder investigation.

“We thought we knew him,” another neighbor said. “Anyone can be a monster. There are monsters out there.”

Peacock had lived in the home on Grammar Street three years, her landlord Glenn Triplett said. There appeared to be no signs of forced entry into the home when Triplett inspected it Thursday.

The house was also the scene of a homicide in 2007.

Justin Maurice Harris, 25, was killed while was returning to the home at 3:19 a.m. when multiple shots were fired with an automatic rifle and a shotgun. Police said the shooting stemmed from an argument at the former New Orleans Café on Washington Street.

Three brothers  —Anthony and Armond Trevillion, who fired weapons, and Matthew Nash, who lured Harris out of his house and into the line of fire — are all serving life sentences in Harris’ death.

A fourth brother, Alonzo Trevillion, was found not guilty at trial.

The homicide Wednesday is the second in Vicksburg this year.

Jimmy Johnson, 32 of Talluah was shot and killed Feb. outside LD’s Restaurant and Lounge on Mulberry Street as police were on scene responding to another incident when shots were fired, Armstrong has said.

Kentrell Williams, 22, also of Tallulah was arrested and charged with murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and possession of a stolen firearm. The case against him was expected to be presented to the Warren County grand jury this week.

Arraignments were set for 9 a.m. Friday in Warren County Circuit Court.
