MONROE COUNTY, Miss. (WCBI) – Monroe County released more information about a deadly shooting over the weekend and formally charged a suspect.
45-year-old Lewis Shaun Cantrell, of Hatley, was charged with first-degree murder, vehicle theft, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

The victim believed Cantrell had taken the items.
