Violent clashes erupted outside a Mississippi courthouse involving members of two families amid a dispute over the mysterious disappearance of Latasha Crump Coleman. The families of Derrick Coleman and Latasha were present for a hearing regarding Derrick, who is believed to have information about Latasha's disappearance. Derrick Coleman, appealing a 2022 conviction, faced a disorderly scene outside the courthouse where punches were thrown, leading to arrests. Inside the court, Judge Johnnie McDaniels ruled that Coleman violated bond conditions, remanding the case back to municipal court. Latasha Crump Coleman's family, possibly misunderstanding the ruling, may have initiated the brawl.
Latasha's disappearance, suspected foul play, and her family's belief that the case was overlooked after another unrelated hoax disappearance in Alabama have added complexity to the situation. No suspects have been ruled out in Latasha's case, with Derrick Coleman's name under scrutiny, according to Jackson Police Chief Joe Wade.
