May 25 (UPI) -- Three former Jackson police officers have been indicted for homicide over the New Year's Eve death of a 41-year-old Black man in their custody.
During a press conference Wednesday, Hinds County District Attorney Jody Owens announced that a grand jury returned an indictment last week charging former officers Avery Willis and Kenya McCarty with second-degree murder and former officer James Land with manslaughter for the death of Keith Murriel.
