I’m sure you all heard the horrible news about Latasha Norman late Thursday. Her ex-boyfriend has been charged with her murder. Read on:
The ex-boyfriend of a JSU student missing since Nov. 13 has been charged with killing her, officials say.
Stanley Cole, 24, is suspected in the slaying of Latasha Norman.
A body found this afternoon off Brown Street in north Jackson is that of Norman, Jackson Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jeffery Scott confirmed late today.
The remains were found around 2 p.m. in a wooded area on Brown Street near County Line Road.
Cole, a criminal justice major at JSU, was in a Pearl court early Thursday for a hearing into charges he struck Norman Oct. 9 at a restaurant in Pearl. He was later taken into custody for further questioning in Norman’s disappearance.
Cole, whom Scott had termed “a person of Interest” a few hours earlier, was formally charged with murder after Norman’s body was found.
Cole apparently led police to the body.
The university, which spearheaded vigils and other events to keep Norman’s disappearance in the news, has cancelled classes Friday in her honor. [ READ MORE ]
