COLUMBUS, Miss. (WCBI) – New details emerge surrounding the deadly officer-involved shooting.

In a special meeting today, the Columbus city council voted to have the two remaining police officers involved in the Ricky Ball shooting return to work.

Officers Max Branch and Yolanda Young were placed on a 30-day suspension after the October shooting incident.

That suspension ends today.

In a statement made to WCBI, Mayor Robert Smith said “The council saw fit at the recommendation of Interim Chief Fred Shelton, the recommendation was for the 30 days to run concurrent and also that Officer Branch and Officer Young will return to work today.”

The third officer, Canyon Boykin, who allegedly shot Ball, was fired after the shooting.

Interim Chief Fred Shelton will determine where the two officers will be placed within the department.
