Bail was set at $100,000 for a Vicksburg man accused of murder, and his wife and accused accomplice surrendered to police in Louisiana Wednesday.

Municipal Judge Toni Terrett set the bail for Harold Lindsey, 58, 265 Red Oak Drive, at 2 p.m. Thursday after he was charged with murder in the shooting death of 46-year-old Roy Brown.

“You will go to the Warren County Jail until you post bail,” Terrett told Lindsey.

Lindsey made no statement during the hearing other than to say he would like a court-appointed attorney. He was dressed in a white tank top undershirt and blue jeans while shackled and handcuffed in the courtroom.

Family members outside the courtroom declined to comment.

About an hour earlier, his wife, 32-year-old Crystal Owens Lindsey surrendered to police in Baton Rouge, Vicksburg police Capt. Sandra Williams said.

“Apparently she walked into the police department from wherever she had been,” Williams said.

Lindsey was taken to the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison where she was awaiting extradition Wednesday. It is unclear when she will return to Vicksburg to face charges.

Brown was fatally shot shortly before 6:30 a.m. Tuesday in the yard of a home he had been staying in “from time to time,” at 1605 Court St., Williams said.

Warren County Corner Doug Huskey said Brown died of multiple gunshot wounds. Williams said he was shot in several areas of the body.

Brown was apparently in a domestic dispute with Crystal Lindsey when she called her husband to the home on Court Street. Police have declined to say who fired the fatal shots.

It was unclear if Crystal Lindsey was living with her husband or with Brown at the time of the shooting.

Before she surrender, Crystal Lindsey was last seen leaving the scene of the shooting with her husband.

The homicide is the third in Vicksburg this year.
