Black Mayoral Candidate Found Murdered in Clarksdale, Media Insists on telling us over & over he is gay

ClarionLedger

The Coahoma County sheriff has charged Lawrence Reed with the murder of Marco McMillian.

Reed, 22, is from Shelby. He is thought to have killed McMillian sometime late Monday night or early Tuesday morning.

McMillian was considered missing after an accident involving his SUV happened around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday near the Coahoma County-Tallahatchie County line. Reed, who was driving McMillian’s SUV, had collided head-on with another vehicle.

McMillian wasn’t in his SUV at the time of the accident, thus prompting a search for his whereabouts.

The two drivers each were taken to different hospitals. Reed was airlifted to the Regional Medical Center at Memphis.

The other driver was taken to a local hospital and since has been released.

A spokeswoman for The Med said Reed was in good condition as of Wednesday afternoon.

McMillian had entered the highly contested Clarksdale mayoral race earlier this year, saying he wanted to combat crime and high unemployment. Politics likely wasn’t a factor in McMillian’s death, said Coahoma County Coroner Scotty Meredith.

Law enforcement agents on Wednesday afternoon said they found McMillian's body found near the Mississippi River.
