MOSS POINT, Miss. (AP) - A Mississippi Gulf Coast man has been charged with capital murder after a woman was found dead in her driveway.
Moss Point police tell local news outlets that 31-year-old Octavius Montego Black turned himself in Saturday to police in Prentiss.
Betty J. Vaughans was found dead Thursday morning by a relative, with her Cadillac Escalade missing. Moss Point Police Chief Brandon Ashley says Black and the 58-year-old Vaughans were arguing about the Escalade, leading to her being hit by the SUV. Ashley says the two were known to each other.
