A Tallahatchie County teenager is charged with murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection with the December shooting death of a man in Glendora.
Dyiesha Janaee Spraggin, 19, of 135 King Road, Vance, was arrested Saturday evening, Feb. 17, in the Goose Pond subdivision area near Webb, Tallahatchie County Sheriff Jimmy Fly said Tuesday.
She is being held at the Tallahatchie County Correctional Facility in Tutwiler on a bond of $400,000 set by Justice Judge Denise Washington-Lockett, the sheriff explained.
Spraggin was arrested for her alleged role in the Dec. 23 early-morning killing of Kwaiyhone Hodges, 20, of 24 Gipson Ave., Apt. 5. His body was found lying in the street on Gipson Avenue, near the Village Apartments where he lived.
Hodges had been shot once in the head area, and a 9 mm shell casing was recovered from the scene.
Fly said the murder weapon has not been located.
The sheriff, whose office has been assisting the Glendora Police Department and the Mississippi of Bureau of Investigation with the case, said a motive for the killing is pending the outcome of the continuing investigation.
