A 22-year-old Mississippi man has been arrested and charged with the death of an openly gay mayoral candidate. Lawrence Reed of Shelby was charged with the murder of Clarksdale mayoral candidate Marco McMillian, 34, on Thursday.
McMillian’s body was found near the Mississippi River levee Wednesday morning, a day after Reed crashed McMillian’s SUV into another vehicle on U.S. highway 49.
Reed was transported to the Regional Medical Center in Memphis, where he is listed in good condition. McMillian’s relationship to Reed is not known.
McMillian is being described in the media as the Mississippi delta’s first openly gay mayoral candidate. But friends say McMillian didn’t flaunt his homosexuality.
“There’s a lot of people upset about it,” said Dennis Thomas, who works for Abe’s Barbeque. “Why would somebody want to do something like that to somebody of that calibre? He was a highly respected person in town,” added Thomas.
McMillian was CEO of MWM & Associates, a consulting firm for nonprofit organizations. In 2004, EBONY magazine named McMillian one of the nation’s “30-up-and-coming African Americans under 30”.
Police have not released McMillian’s cause of death. Toxicology and other blood tests from McMillian’s autopsy are pending.

You know he “looks” broke
my co-worker bought it I just threw it in the trash 
In a recent interview Kandi admits it was LaTocha’s lies that kept her from attending the So So Def 20th Anniversary concert and not any problems she has with Jermaine Dupri…
Kandi tells V103’s Bigg Tigger,
“Me not coming to the reunion has nothing to do with me being disrespectful to Jermaine. I always feel like I will be in debt to him for what he’s done to my career, and I appreciate everything that he’s done… for me,”

“I’m just going to be honest and tell you, I don’t feel like all the members of my group, they don’t really have love for me like that. Tiny has love for me, but over the years people have told flat-out lies about me in public, dogged me, blamed me for everything that done went wrong in their life. To me, it’s just a situation where I feel like I don’t want to go back to that.”
“To this day now, I have to see people try to say that I had sex with Jermaine’s father. She said that just to make me look bad to people. She came back to apologize to me, but she never apologized in public”
“It’s not true. It was a flat-out lie. When people do stuff to try to damage you or bring you down to the public, that’s hateful.”

I’m sitting here steaming cause some genius scheduled and OFF SITE meeting at the END of the dammm day today.
A police spokesman in Florida says they are starting a recovery effort to find a man who was swallowed up by a sinkhole at his home.
Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office spokesman Larry McKinnon said Friday they asked sinkhole and engineering experts to come to the home near Tampa. The experts are using equipment to see if the ground can support the weight of heavy machinery that is needed for the recovery effort.
Jeremy Bush, who was home at the time, says he fears his brother Jeff has died. He ran into his brother’s bedroom when he disappeared into the sinkhole Thursday night, but he says he could not save him.
VA thats known and now LaTocha halfway admitted and now wants to do a reunion. She is the voice of that group but she was wrong for that. Ah well

Mauldin was a big man back in the day…I think at Atlantic soooooooo it’s not tooo far fetched that Khandi woulda did it. But…She don’t come across as the lie on her puss type so if she say she didn’t screw him, she did not screw him.
