Jones is accused in the death of Anthony Turner, 29, during an argument at Turner’s home in the 8300 block of Halls Ferry Road. Turner was stabbed in the chest, Pace said. The case remains under investigation, and an autopsy was ordered.

Pace said a telephone call came through Vicksburg-Warren 911 about 12:30 p.m. Friday that a man had been stabbed in the chest and was being taken by a private vehicle to Merit Health River Region.

The car carrying the man met a Vicksburg Fire Department ambulance while in route to the hospital, but paramedics were unable revive Turner.
