Authorities in Mississippi said an 18-year-old girl turned herself in to Jackson police in connection to the shooting death of a 12-year-old boy on Ventura Drive.
Jackson police announced the information during a press conference on Friday, June 3. Investigators previously arrested Otha Brown as a suspect in the murder case that happened in late May. Brown was recently denied bond.
Police said Cartisha Cashion, 18, turned herself in as suspect in 12-year-old Adrian McDouglas’s death and the shooting of his 16-year-old brother. She allegedly admitted that she was one of the people inside a car believed to be associated with the drive-by shooting.

Police said Adrian McDouglas, 12, was playing outside with his brother Ontarrio McDouglas, 16, when shots were fired from a black Toyota Avalon.
Police said Adrian was shot in the upper torso. He later died at Merit Health Hospital.
Ontarrio was shot in the right forearm and shoulder. His injuries were non-life threatening.
Family members said Adrian had just returned from a graduation when he and his brother were shot.
Cashion was charged with murder, aggravated assault and drive-by shooting. Police said Taekuan Cohen is no longer a suspect in the case as he provided an alibi.
