JPD issued the following statement.
On August 3, 2026, 29-year-old Tasia Fortune was found in a hanging position from a tree behind a vacant house along Road of Remembrance. Following an autopsy, the Medical Examiner determined that Ms. Fortune’s death was a homicide and further indicated that “the scene and the hanging were staged.”The investigation into the death of Tasia Fortune has resulted in three arrests. The third suspect, Eric Clark, 45, has been charged with murder and turned himself in today. His initial appearance is scheduled for Monday, September 28, 2026. The Jackson Police Department’s Robbery-Homicide Division will continue its investigation until all individuals believed to be involved are held accountable for their actions in connection with Ms. Fortune’s death.
Note: WAPT fleshed out the story:
Investigators believe Tasia Fortune was already dead before her body was hanged from a tree behind an abandoned home on Road of Remembrance in early August, Jackson Police Detective Samuel Dukes testified, citing the medical examiner's opinion.Dukes also testified that the motive for the killing appears to have been a drug dispute. He said interviews with others revealed that Fortune fought hard before she was killed. Article

Drug dealers in Vicksburg have been doing this because their clients owe them money
Very sad but this is what happens when you hang out with the wrong people.
Nolan Wells and now this news that didn’t fit the narrative
I commented earlier in the week that she was already deceased. You read it here first on JJ.
These two of Jackson's finest rocket surgeons thought in their fried brains that if they hanged her on a tree that the low IQ and racist Jackson residents would blame this tragedy on whitey.
These crackheads were too stupid to think of this. If drugs were involved as mentioned by detective, read what Ratliff's attorney asked the detective about payouts to JPD by drug dealers and his lack of response. Why would they beat this bum's ass and knock his teeth out? Bet they were surprised he was able to hire an attorney. Whoever did this apparently knew that no cameras were in the area. Someone who has inside information about the location of cameras and that this location was not covered. Something in the milk ain't clean.
Eric Clark arrested for 1st degree murder as perp #3. (WJTV)
The sky is blue and the grass is green
Notice how Trump rhymes with Crump🤔
I guess Kenny can relax now and just blame it on dem Dope Boys.
The most impressive thing is that, between the three of them, they could rig a knot that held.
To 6:51 - you make an anonymous comment ”earlier this week” claiming knowledge of the murder. How do we know you deserve the accolades you seek in you 6:51 comments? Unless you sign your name to your initial comment, how can anyone give validity to your next comment. Only after legitimate authority makes a statement do you try to show your vast intellect (again anonymous) to WOW us with your knowledge. In the future, when you make a predictive. statement, sign your name to validate the great knowledge the rest of us lack. Then we can marvel at your insight. Stop hiding behind anonymous comments, step up to the plate, and take credit for what you say. Signed Phil Fisher
Neither had anything to do with the other !
Really When
Notice how 10:18 PM rhymes with TDS?
I actually gave credit to the blog, i.e. JJ.
I don’t care what anybody says, you can’t make me believe there’s not a bunch of ignorant rednecks packed inside a car and cruising the neighborhood, just looking for that one unlucky person of color to be picked off the street for some good ol’ boy fun and games.
It is quite understandable that black perpetrators would hang their victim from a tree given the mindset of so many black people revealed on social media. Many simply dismiss the idea that anyone other than white racists could make themselves hang a black person from a tree. Besides creating a false atmosphere these people are also potential jurors. It will probably happen again.
Per the NAACP’s own database there were 581 lynchings in Mississippi from 1882 to 1968. That’s about 7 per year. Black on black crime in Jackson alone kills around ten times more black people than died in the whole state from lynching on average per year.
Oh Darn! Once again the Clarion Ledger and WLBT had their narrative destroyed. No evidence of Klan activity on Road of Remembrance. I remember when Tasia Fortune’s body was discovered the local media fueled the panic even though there were no suspects, we know how WLBT and the CL operate. “There is always a white man behind a hanging.” They are always looking for their daily civil rights story and another opportunity to bash evil white men. We are sick of this crap! Once again the media, NAACP and white liberals didn’t get the scandal they hoped for with Tasia and Nolan.
If Bill Minor were still here he would have found a way to connect Mississippi’s turbulent past to the deaths of Tasia and Nolan without any evidence.
You just described that Dedmon p.o.s. and his klan.
Between the three of them they might be able to put a legible sentence together.
Thanks for checking Crump.
I have never seen a movie or TV show about Mississippi that didn't make sure to include at least one scene or instance of racism by whites against some innocent, passive, and noble African American victim. Please correct me if I am wrong. It is like Hollywood types want to forever associate Mississippi with evil slave plantation KKK until the end of time.
6:54, Yep. Some people are always looking for proof to support their pet prejudices.
They say thing like "I don't care what anybody says . . ."
Others look for evidence that their prejudices are incorrect.
I try to stay in the second group.
"Jackson Burning," a new miniseries directed by Crump/Sharpton with Executive Producers C/L and WLBT. You read it here first.
Crump also rhymes with Chump! Crump the Chump!
Waiting now for the slew of apologies for pointing the finger at White people for this death. What a bunch of racists.
The CL is a shell of its former self. I haven't watched WLBT in years. I can imagine all the former employees standing in the unemployment line being completely oblivious to the fact they destroyed their jobs while pursuing their progressive fantasies.
Long Hot Summer
I seen what you done there.
Well, the Clarion Ledger did publish a article earlier this month (about Trey Reed's death at Delta State University last year) that was NOT kind to Ben Crump. This article provided some info that supported the official finding that Trey Reed actually died by suicide.

Crump and Trump… birds of a feather. Oh, how I wish for sanity. But back to the issue at hand, Tasia’s mom unfortunately called it.
To 10:48 - You suggested "Hollywood types want to forever associate Mississippi with evil slave plantation KKK until the end of time" but you got it wrong. It's the people who live in Mississippi that continue to proudly associate themselves with white supremacy. They love their Confederate flags and make tourism money pretending there was honor in fighting a "Lost Cause" civil war to keep people as slaves.
Speaking of this hanging as a diversion, don't forget the black-church burning in Greenville during a previous Trump campaign. The word TRUMP was scrawled on the church's exterior wall and the place was torched. Turns out the perp was a black church member. Church burnings all across the south have been perped by colored people for decades. (Google it)
11:30 PM, So it’s ok for blacks to tell their story and preserve their history but “white” history is all about a flag and slavery and should be forgotten.
No klan activity in Mississippi that I’ve heard about lately and no crosses burned. I’m sure the CL would have updated us. But there were 2 black on black homicides in the Capitol city last night.
You thought “In The Heat of the Night” was an accurate portrayal of white folks in Mississippi and so did the rest of the country. 7 seasons of raunchy negative stereotypes about whites.
No klan activity here, all you can do is mumble garbage about MAGA.
