A Vicksburg man faces a charge of murder in the Saturday night shooting of a woman on Elizabeth Circle in Rolling Acres.
Vicksburg police Sgt. Johnnie Edwards said Darrell Lepercy Green, 56, 1312 China St., was arrested about 1:52 a.m. Sunday at the home of a relative on West Magnolia Street. He is accused in the shooting death of Latonya Love Campbell, 45, at her home at 160 Elizabeth Circle. Campbell was pronounced dead at the scene by Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey, and an autopsy has been ordered. A weapon was recovered.
Green is being held without bail in the Issaquena County Correctional Facility pending a 10 a.m. initial appearance Monday in Municipal Court.
According to police reports, Green and Campbell had been dating and recently ended the relationship. When Campbell returned home from work Saturday night, she found Green at her home and an argument began that resulted in Green shooting her.
Officers responding about 10:05 p.m. Saturday to a call that someone had been shot in the 100 block of Elizabeth Circle arrived to find Campbell lying in the front yard of 158 Elizabeth Circle.
Saturday’s shooting was the third murder in Vicksburg in 2018.
