PASCAGOULA, Miss. (AP) - A Franklin Creek community man has been
charged with murder for the shooting death of his uncle.
Jackson County Sheriff Mike Byrd says Gerald Derrick Lander was
arrested shortly after authorities arrived at the scene of the
shooting in the Franklin Creek community on Monday night.
Byrd says Randy Wilson died at the scene of a gunshot wound in
the abdomen.
Byrd says an argument took place between the two men, leading to
the shooting.
Lander was released Tuesday on a bond of $50,000. A court date
is pending.
