The search was still on this morning for a family car driven by the 14-year-old stepdaughter of a Warren County woman found dead Monday in the home they shared, Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace said.

Multiple calls of sightings of the 2002 brown Dodge Durango with Warren County tag WBD 139 were reported to law enforcement authorities Tuesday, he said, but none panned out.

Meanwhile, an autopsy Tuesday on Alicia Michelle Peay Vega, 32, who was found dead in her home at 100 Jones Road, Lot 19, on Monday showed she died of a single gunshot to the head, Warren County Coroner Doug Huskey said this morning.

Vega was found around 3 p.m. Monday by her 15-year-old son, Wesley White, as he returned from school. She was in the home alone and pronounced dead there about an hour later.

Witnesses told authorities they had seen the 14-year-old stepdaughter drive away from a south county mobile home park in the Durango minutes before her stepbrother arrived, Pace said.

A weapon was recovered from the home, but Pace said Tuesday it had not been determined if it was used in the killing.

Authorities have named no suspects in the killing, but were attempting to find the stepdaughter, whose name has not been made public, for questioning, Pace said.

“She is a family member who we have not been able to interview,” Pace said.

Vega was the second person to be reported killed by gunshot wound Monday.

The body of Maurice Morris, 18, 2228 Grove St., a junior at Warren Central High School, was found near a parking lot at Confederate Ridge Apartments, 780 U.S. 61 North, at about 9:30 a.m., about 12 hours after an armed robbery and shooting had been reported there. Morris was found with a mask covering his face.

A second man shot during the attempted armed robbery, Corey Thompson, 25, 4880 U.S. 80, remained at River Region Medical Center this morning, said Vicksburg police Sgt. Sandra Williams. The hospital has not released a condition report on Thompson.

Thompson drove himself to the hospital just after the shooting. He had been shot in the abdomen.

Two other men, Jermaine Wright, 26, a resident of the complex, and Patrick Tucker, 23, 2106 Baker St., believed to be the would-be robbery victims, escaped without injury.

Williams said the investigation into the shootings, believed to be a result of an attempted robbery as Wright and Tucker entered the parking lot, remains underway and no arrests have been made.

The report from the autopsy on Morris, also performed Tuesday, showed he died from a single gunshot wound to the chest, Huskey said this morning.

This morning, Michael Peay, 30, of Idabel, Okla., was with other family members, awaiting the return of the 14-year-old and making plans for a funeral.

Peay described his sister as a happy and outgoing person.

“She was always the one who tried to keep the peace,” he said. “She worked hard to take care of her kids. She’s always calling and asking me about my children. She always wanted to do something for them and all of her nieces and nephews.”

Vega, who was born in Rolling Fork and grew up in Vicksburg, worked as a waitress at Rainbow Hotel Casino. She was a Vicksburg High School graduate.

In addition to Michael Peay, she is survived by her husband, Jason Vega; her two sons, Wesley White, and Devin Vega, 8; her parents, Kathy Peay and Mike Peay; two sisters, Nikki Peay and Ashley Peay; and other relatives.

Morris is survived by his parents, Telisa Morris and David Robinson; his brothers, Solomon Harris, James Morris, Roosevelt Harris and David Robinson; and a sister, Christine Morris.

Morris’ death was the first killing in the city and Vega’s death was the second in the county this year.

Timothy Wayne Harmon, 25, died of a single gunshot wound to the chest Jan. 6 and Jeremy Blake Bowlin, 18, the teenage son of Harmon’s live-in girlfriend, has been indicted for murder by the Warren County Grand Jury in its January session. His trial date was set for Oct. 3.

Vega’s funeral services were to be handled by Glenwood Funeral Home and Lakeview Memorial Funeral Home was to handle services for Morris.
