1 killed, 3 injured outside nightclub

YAZOO CITY --A Yazoo City woman was killed and at least three others were injured after an early Sunday morning altercation outside a nightclub, officials said.
Aleshia Turner, 21, of 216 Magnolia St. was shot in the face after shots were fired about 1:15 a.m. in the parking lot of Chocolate City on South Industrial Parkway, said Yazoo County Coroner Rickey Shivers.

"Miss Turner was not the intended target," said Yazoo City Police Chief Mike Wallace. "She was not involved in the altercation. She was an innocent bystander."

Another man was shot in the leg and two others stabbed during the altercation, Wallace said. The situation apparently started
when a group of people was asked to leave the club, Wallace said. Two men ha
ve been charged with murder, Wallace said.


Allen Smith, 22, of Vicksburg and Jermaine Williams, 22, of Vicksburg are being held at the Yazoo County Detention Center, Wallace said. Smith is being held on $100,000 bond, while Williams, arrested Monday, has not made a court appearance.

"All of these young lives wasted over something that wasn't worth it," Wallace said. "It is a tragedy."

Turner was pronounced dead at 1:43 a.m. Sunday at King's Daughter Hospital, Shivers said. She was the mother of three children, ages 4, 2, and a baby boy she gave birth to Dec. 8, said her aunt, Selina Johnson of Pittsburgh, Pa.

"This was so senseless," Johnson said. "She was trying to get into the truck to leave when she was shot."

Three charged in Chocolate City killing

Three Vicksburg men charged in Yazoo City murder

YAZOO CITY, Miss. - Three Vicksburg men have been charged in the shooting death of a woman at a Yazoo City club.

Allen White, 22; Jermaine Williams, no age available; and Thomas Tubbs Jr., 21, have been charged with the murder of Alicia Turner, 23, of Yazoo City.

White was arrested by Warren County deputies Sunday and was being held on a $100,000 bond at the Yazoo County Detention Center. Tubbs turned himself in to Yazoo County authorities, and Williams was arrested Monday in Jefferson County.

Yazoo City Police Chief Michael Wallace said more arrests might be made and current charges could be changed as more witnesses come forward with information.

"Who knows what started it," Wallace said. "It could have
been somebody stepping on somebody's toe or bumping into somebody on the dance floor."


Police said Turner was not
involved in the fights, and was attempting to seek cover from gunfire behind a parked car when she was shot. She was pronounced dead Sunday at a local hospital.
