WEST POINT, Miss. — A 24-year-old Mississippi man killed six people - his father, brother, uncle, 7-year-old cousin, a church pastor and the pastor’s brother - at three locations during a Friday night rampage in a rural area, authorities said.
Daricka M. Moore was arrested at a police roadblock in Cedarbluff just before midnight after dozens of local, state and federal officers flooded the northeast Mississippi area.
Moore was being held without bail Saturday at the Clay County jail in West Point on murder charges and ahead of an expected initial appearance Monday before a judge.
