Man faces murder charge By SUE WATSON
Staff Writer A
Waterford area resident was charged Wednesday of last week with murder
in the shooting of LaKeith Demon “Ke Ke” Jones, 33, of Holly Springs
the day before, according to sheriff Kenny Dickerson. He
said Denorris Howell, 27, of 5514 Old Highway 7 South, was charged in
Jones’ death after there had allegedly been an argument in Howell’s
home over financing of a vehicle, keys and a burglary that had taken
place earlier in the Laws Hill area. The shooting took place in the carport of the two-story, brick home. Howell was released on $100,000 bail Wednesday of last week, Dickerson said. The
Howell home was burglarized Tuesday night of last week while family
members spent the night with relatives, according to the sheriff.
Burglars kicked in a back door at the Howell house and took flat-screen
televisions, computers and electronic games. The case is still under investigation, including the burglary, the sheriff said. In
a separate incident that took place early Sunday morning around 12:30,
a homeowner was injured in a house invasion in the Byhalia area,
Dickerson said. An unknown suspect entered the
house at 506 East Cox Road through the back door, and wielding a
machete, struck the resident about the head and upper body area. The
victim was transported to Baptist Hospital Collierville and then on to
The Med and was treated for head trauma, Dickerson said. The resident
was home alone at the time of the attack. Anyone
who has information in any of these crimes or any other crime is asked
to call Marshall County Crime Stoppers at 800-729-2169. Callers do not
have to identify themselves when leaving tips with authorities. The
information provided will be treated with strict confidence.
