Witnesses told authorities that McGee and a male suspect fled the scene in a white Ford pick-up truck.

Later, Yazoo County Sheriff Jacob Sheriff stopped the vehicle just inside Yazoo County on Highway 3 near Eagle Bend Road. When Sheriff stopped the vehicle, the driver ran into the woods, while McGee remained and was taken into custody.

According to Warren County Sheriff Martin Pace, K-9 units with the Warren County Sheriff’s Office and the Yazoo County Sheriff’s Office assisted Vicksburg Police Department personnel in the search for a male suspect. As of Monday, the suspect had been identified, but not captured.

Officials with the Vicksburg Police Department have declined to release the identity of the male suspect.

In its release Friday, the department said the shooting Friday reportedly stemmed from an altercation Thursday that involved both McGee and Luckett.

Friday’s murder is the third reported homicide in Vicksburg this year.
