PORT GIBSON, Miss. (AP) - Authorities say a Port Gibson man has been charged with murder in the fatal shooting of his girlfriend on Monday.
Claiborne County Sheriff Marvin Lucas tells The Vicksburg Post (https://bit.ly/1dOkIpy ) that 54-year-old Ricky Davis was arrested Tuesday in the shooting death of 46-year-old Claudine Savage. Lucas says the two lived together in the Lacashe subdivision of Port Gibson.
Deputy coroner Sharon Thompson Harvey says Savage was pronounced dead at 7:40 p.m. Monday. An autopsy has been ordered.
Lucas said the couple had a dispute and that led to the shooting. Lucas says a neighbor called 911 about the shooting.
Davis will have an initial appearance Thursday before Justice Court Judge Jimmy Ellis. It is known if Davis has an attorney.
