Southaven police said a man was arrested and charged with murder in connection with Baltimore entertainer’s killing
The Baltimore comedian Reginald “Reggie” Carroll has died after being shot in northern Mississippi, according to authorities and media reports.
The entertainer was 52, and among those who have paid tribute to him was the Oscar-winning actor Mo’Nique, who called Carroll a “brother” in comedy.
Police in Southaven, Mississippi, said officers found a critically wounded Carroll while responding to a shooting on Burton Lane on 20 August. Though he underwent emergency treatment at a hospital in nearby Memphis, Tennessee, Carroll died from his injuries.
Southaven police said one man was arrested in connection with Carroll’s killing and had been jailed on one count of murder. The police later identified the arrested suspect as Tranell Marquise Williams, 38, the Memphis news station WMC reported.
