The reporting

A neutral summary of the key facts most sources agree on, drawn from reporting across the political spectrum.

Jackson, Mississippi, police arrested and charged 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff with murder in the death of Tasia Fortune after the state medical examiner ruled it a homicide. Fortune, a 29-year-old Black woman, was found Aug. 3 hanging from a tree outside an abandoned house in Jackson. Police Chief RaShall Brackney said investigators had obtained search and arrest warrants and arrested Ratliff when officers encountered him walking on a city street. Brackney said Ratliff had an association with Fortune but did not describe it, and police said additional arrests could follow.
