JACKSON, Miss. (WJTV) – Authorities said an 18-year-old girl turned herself in to Jackson police in connection to the shooting death of a 12-year-old boy on Ventura Drive.

Jackson police announced the information during a press conference on Friday, June 3. Investigators previously arrested Otha Brown as a suspect in the murder case that happened in late May. Brown was recently denied bond.

Police said Cartisha Cashion, 18, turned herself in as suspect in the 12-year-old’s death and the shooting of his 16-year-old brother. She allegedly admitted that she was one of the people inside a car believed to be associated with the drive-by shooting.

Cashion was charged with murder, aggravated assault and drive-by shooting. Police said Taekuan Cohen is no longer a suspect in the case as he provided an alibi.
