Man Shoots 53-Year-Old Wife D*ad Inside Vehicle Before Turning Gun On Himself

A 40-year-old man identified as Cedric Garrett has reportedly shot and killed his 53-year-old wife, Valtrecia Garrett, before taking his own life in an apparent murder-suicide in Vicksburg, Mississippi, United States.

The incident occurred on Friday morning, with police officers arriving at the scene at approximately 9 a.m. after receiving reports about individuals inside a vehicle parked behind Vicksburg Convalescent Home.

According to Vicksburg Police Chief Larry Burns, officers secured the area and attempted to resolve the situation peacefully. However, Cedric reportedly shot himself and was pronounced dead at the scene.

His wife’s body was subsequently discovered inside the vehicle.

The police department’s Criminal Investigations Unit has commenced an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the incident.

Meanwhile, records from the archives of the Vicksburg Post indicate that Cedric had previously been arrested in September 2002, when he was 16 years old, in connection with the fatal stabbing of his 20-year-old brother, Derrick Maxey.

The earlier incident reportedly followed an argument at their family residence on Oakland Street, during which Cedric allegedly picked up a knife and stabbed his brother once on the left side of his body.

According to Bush Radio Academy, authorities are continuing their investigation into the latest incident as details surrounding the suspected murder-suicide emerge.
