JACKSON, Miss. — <\/span>Mississippi police have arrested a man in the death Tasia Fortune, a Black woman found hanging from a tree last month. <\/p>\n

Jackson Police Chief RaShall Brackney said at a news conference that police had secured search and arrest warrants for the man and arrested him when they encountered him walking on the street.<\/p>\n

The state medical examiner\u2019s office determined Thursday evening that the death was a homicide, Brackney said, allowing them to execute the warrants they already had on hand.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis case remains active and additional arrests will be pending,\u201d Brackney said.<\/p>\n

Police first responded to an abandoned home in Jackson on Aug. 3 and discovered Fortune\u2019s body hanging in the backyard.<\/p>\n

Fortune died less than a year after the hanging deaths of 21-year-old Trey Reed<\/a>, a Black student at Delta State University in Cleveland, and Cory Zukatis, an unhoused white man in his 30s, in Vicksburg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
