Rankin County Sheriff Bryan Bailey issued the following statement.
On September 1 st , 2022, Rankin County deputies were called to the 200 block of Oakdale Rd. where a man was being treated for a severe head injury. Once deputies arrived on scene, they discovered that the victim appeared to have suffered from intentional blunt force trauma and was taken to a hospital. Investigators were called to the scene and began processing evidence and talking to witnesses. Investigators were able to identify RICKY DEWAYNE MORRIS as the primary suspect. A statewide BOLO was then sent out to law enforcement agencies to include MORRIS’ description and vehicle information. Members of the U.S. Marshals Task force also began to search for MORRIS. A short time later, an officer with the Vicksburg Police Department identified MORRIS’ vehicle and was able to take him into custody. MORRIS was transported from Vicksburg back to the Rankin County Jail by the U.S. Marshals Task Force. Later that evening the victim, identified as 72-year-old GRADY KEITH ALLEN, succumbed to the injuries suffered from the assault. Rankin County District Attorney Bubba Bramlett will bring MORRIS before Rankin County Court Judge David Morrow on charges of capital murder. Sheriff Bailey would like to thank the Vicksburg Police Department and the U.S. Marshals Task Force for their assistance in quickly apprehending MORRIS. The investigation of this incident is ongoing.

Vicksburg PD and SD apprehend a number of runners from Mississippi who are trying to make it to the state line. They've got a good, effective force over there.
What Vicksburg has is a good, effective bottleneck and natural roadblock.
Motive? More will be coming out.
They also have casinos where knuckleheads like this go after robbing their victims…he has also been charged with armed robbery
Hey 708, rarely those the backstory come out in the news, just the police blurp! There is very little actual investigation or reporting by the news agencies.
Having passed that mark, I hate to hear 72 referred to as 'elderly'. May this gentleman forever Rest In Peace.
twenty five years of appeals in 3..2..1
What Vicksburg has, 10:51, is a serious, effective mayor, a capable female chief of police, a dedicated Sheriff and the legacy of Paul Barrett.
On your way to Texas...Don't Mess With Vicksburg.
When all the facts come out we'll probably see that he has a history of such nefariousness and was given light sentences with little or no jail time. Once he's been proven guilty this time, a 50-year no-parole sentence is about what is called for. Well actually, a public hanging is what is called for but our society doesn't have the brass for that anymore.
8:58. That’s pretty rich.
Vicksburg’s leadership is a clown show, from top to bottom.
another POS rankin county green teeth meth head. they will kill you for a shoelace.
@8:58 AM Thanks for checking in Mayor Flaggs.
this goes out to all the rankin county niknars who think rankin county is so safe an jackson is a war zone.
i have lived in rankin county since 1985, and what you see in this photo may as well be the official animal of rankin county.........a white trash, green teeth, meth snorting, criminal that is a dangerous as anything you will find in jackson.
the national pastime in rankin county are just these types of thugs, jacked up on meth , and riding around in their big pickup trucks looking for victims.
given the chance they especially love to blow pedestrians, runners, and cyclists off the road, contending that such people ''are in their way'' as they cruise around looking for someone to rob, something to steal, or just someone to attack for the fun of it.
this murder didn't take place down in trailer-trash robin hood. it happened not far from pelahatchie bay at the reservoir.
its just ashamed the 72 year old guy didn't have a pistol on him does he could have blown this thugs head off.
people dont generally associate rankin county with the drug culture, but make no mistake about it , its full of enough methheads and heroine addicts to fill barnett reservoir.
a message to all pedestrians, runners, and cyclists in rankin county.......arm yourself....and if one of these thugs approaches you , shoot his ass.
and when the pathetic reservoir police and rankin co SO show up, tell them to call a veterinarian , cause you just shot an animal.

Murder rate in Jackson is 1 per thousand. Rankin no where near that.
@12:23
Get help because you are absolutely delusional.
I think your bicycle shorts are restricting the bloodflow to your brain.
Jackson's crime rate is 500X worse than the worst trailer park in Rankin.
@12:23 PM Thanks for checking in, Chowke.
to 12;58......1;30 qnd 2;07....
im not talking about murder rates...im
talking about crystal methhead thugs........a 72 year old man was murdered by a thug.......is that a delusion?
as as for my bike shorts......they look alot better than you walmart discount rack clothes.
to the wiseass at 2;07....this aint chowke, its reality ,,,,something that green teeth like you will never understand
to 1:30.....so you know alot about crime rates in rankin county trailer parks , do you?
thats understandable since you probably live in one of them........
Not only Jackson, but most every town in this state would benefit from having George Flaggs as mayor. I can't help it that you knuckle-draggers don't like his skin color. The man is effective, knowledgeable and dedicated to public service.
Imaging Canton with Flaggs as mayor.
the rankin county reds are telling themselves that this is just a ''delusion'' of crime.
if this thread was about a 72 year old murdered in jackson the niknars would have 100 posts on here
what's the matter nicknars?
i thought the reservoir police had everything under control?
The Reservoir Police don't patrol Rankin County any more than JPD patrols The Fondren.
Lord, the "green teeth" comment guy that needs to take his meds is back.
Must be out of Whitfield again.
I knew Mr Allen who was a good and decent man. I hope Ricky Allen dies a painful death in prison!
