Jackson Police Department officers responded to a local hospital after Graise arrived suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. A witness told detectives that Minor and Graise became involved in a verbal altercation while visiting a residence on Westhaven Circle. During the argument, Minor pulled out a handgun and shot Graise multiple times in the abdomen and lower body.The witness rushed Graise to the nearest hospital, where he later died from his injuries. Minor provided his own location and was taken into custody where he confessed to the shooting. Judge Winston Kidd sentenced Minor to 20 years to serve in the custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections. “An argument should never end in the loss of life,” said District Attorney Brad McCullouch. ”Cordarius Minor’s decision to use a gun took Michael Graise away from his family. This 20-year sentence holds him accountable for that decision.”
