A Yazoo City man has been charged with murder after allegedly shooting a man several times.
Jelani Miles, 19, of 1156 Willie Brown St., was charged with murder after he turned himself into authorities this week.
Capt. Tilmon Clifton said the shooting occurred late Thursday evening during a heated argument between Miles and Cortez Tate, the victim.
“The victim, Cortez Tate, was shot on Ethel Street multiple times inside a vehicle,” Clifton said. “Miles, the alleged shooter, shot at the vehicle after an argument involving family members.”
Yazoo County Coroner Ricky Shivers said Tate died two days later on Saturday.

Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
