PASCAGOULA, Mississippi (AP) — A Moss Point woman has pleaded not guilty to manslaughter in the 2014 stabbing death of her boyfriend during an argument.
The Sun Herald reports 23-year-old Shakendra Latrice Galloway pleaded not guilty Wednesday to the charge in the death of Willie Richardson.
Officers responded on Sept. 4 at 2 a.m. to a report of a stabbing at a residence in the 2600 block of Frederick Street.
Richardson was found with multiple stab wounds and was taken to Singing River Hospital where he was prounounced dead at 2:38 a.m.
Jackson County Coroner Vicki Broadus, who performed an autopsy, said Richardson died of “hemorrhaging secondary to stab wounds.”
She did not disclose how many times Richardson was stabbed or where, only that there were “multiple wounds.”
Galloway was arrested at the scene and charged with murder after Richardson died, but a Jackson County Grand Jury indicted her on the lesser offense.
Galloway has been released on bond. Her trial is set to begin in April.
