Second Man Arrested, Another Sought, After Murder Of Black Woman Found Hanging From Tree

Mississippi Police have arrested a second man in the death of a black woman found hanging from a tree, and have issued an arrest warrant for a third suspect. Jackson police arrested 25-year-old Earnest Lloyd Jr. in the death of 29-year-old Tasia Fortune, whose body was found hanging behind an abandoned home in the city on Aug. 3rd. Authorities say while the U.S. Marshalls are bringing in a third man, there are even more arrest warrants expected in this horrific case. Fortune’s mother said neither man is familiar to her nor Tasia’s friends, but that they both should be considered innocent until proven guilty.
