I guess somebody
in Mississippi don’t play that!
Mississippi's
first openly gay mayoral candidate, described as a 'passionate public servant'
was found murdered and his body dumped alongside the river today.
The body of
Marco McMillian, 34, was found on the Mississippi River levee at around 10am.
Coahoma
County Coroner Scotty Meredith confirmed the body belonged to McMillian, a
dedicated democrat who was running to become mayor of Clarksdale.
Campaign
supporters and residents today remembered the politician as a dedicated
community activist and a legitimate candidate for office.
The local
sheriff's department said a 'person of interest' had been taken into custody in
connection to the death but had not been charged.
Neither
local police nor the coroner would provide further details of the cause of
death but it is known the politician's body was found between Sherard and Rena
Lara.
Authorities
had been looking for McMillian since a man crashed the candidate's car into
another vehicle on yesterday. McMillian was not in the car and was soon
reported missing.
