This happened my state. I wouldn’t be surprised if it made national news. Please take note that the white man repeatedly lunges at the young man, and also spits and has him in a head lock. The young man also says at the beginning that the white man was throwing mud at him. He should not have shot him but he was clearly provoked and also on his property. Mississippi also has the castle law.
An 18-year-old who was at the center of a manhunt in Rankin County was taken into custody after investigators said he shot a man multiple times as a result of an ongoing feud.
