Mississippi police have charged a 22-year-old man with murder in connection with the July 8 disappearance of Ole Miss student Jimmie ‘Jay’ Lee, who was last seen three weeks ago.
Oxford police identified the suspect as Sheldon Timothy Herrington Jr., of Grenada. Bond had not yet been set at the time of the announcement.
Police said they have not recovered Lee's body and did not share additional details. A spokesperson said more information would be provided at a later date.
