Biloxi man dead after shooting at Mississippi motel; suspect in custody: Sheriff
A 23-year-old Biloxi man was shot to death at a Jackson County, Miss., motel Thursday afternoon, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office.
Deputies responded to the Red Roof Inn along Interstate 10 at exit 50 just north of Ocean Springs Thursday afternoon about 3:30 p.m.
A 23-year-old man is dead following a shooting at motel along Interstate 10 in Jackson County, Miss.
Once there, they found the victim — identified as Raishon Frazier — suffering from “several” gunshot wounds. He was transported to a hospital, but later died from his injuries.
Quinton Biggs, a 20-year-old resident of the St. Martin community, was arrested and originally charged with attempted murder, but the charge was upgraded to murder after Frazier’s death.
Biggs is being held at the Jackson County Adult Detention Center. According to the jail docket, Biggs was on parole from a previous conviction and thus ineligible to post bond. He was scheduled for an initial court appearance Friday.
