A Jackson County grand jury has indicted six people on manslaughter charges in the March 22 killing of a Moss Point man.
The six suspects went before Circuit Judge Kathy King Jackson on Wednesday for their arraignments.
They are accused in the beating death of Demond Tayveion Ross, 23. An autopsy showed that Ross died of blunt force trauma, the Jackson County coroner said in the immediate aftermath of the killing.
According to Moss Point police, the attack on Ross happened after he attempted to break up a fight between a group of women on Lily Circle. Afterward, police said another assault victim attempting to flee the scene in a car ran over Ross.
Police initially arrested the suspects on second-degree murder charges.
Those indicted on the manslaughters charges are listed below:
- Marcus Carnell Jackson Jr., 25.
- Kezwick K. Webb, 35.
- Daniel Raymond Kidwell, 30.
- Gabriel Trayvon Turk-Magee, 24.
- Roy Deangelo Reeves Jr., 27.
- Rubby Oneal Reeves, 46.
One of the accused, Rubby Reeves, faces a possible life sentence if convicted after a grand jury indicted him as a habitual offender because of three prior convictions, two for drug offenses and one for grand larceny.
Police did not say at the time of the crime what led to the fight or how many were involved.
If convicted of manslaughter, all but Rubby Reeves are facing a maximum prison sentence of up to 20 years, plus fines and court costs.
All six suspects remained jailed Wednesday in Jackson County without bond.
