MS Coast man accused of stabbing his mother multiple times at St. Martin home

Jackson County deputies have arrested a St. Martin man on an attempted murder charge for trying to kill his mother, Sheriff Mike Ezell said in a press release.

Grady Markeese Walker, 27, made an appearance in court Wednesday after he was arrested Tuesday afternoon. He was denied bond and County Court Judge Mark Watts ordered a psychiatric evaluation.

Deputies say they went to a home on Bienville Drive in St. Martin on Tuesday on a domestic violence call.

Ezell says deputies found Walker in front of the house. He was taken into custody and deputies then entered the home, where they found Walker’s mother on the floor with multiple stab wounds.

The victim is at Ocean Springs Hospital in stable condition.

Walker spent Tuesday night in the Jackson County adult detention center.

No other information was available Wednesday for a possible motive for the attack.
