Gulfport, MS: Shooting suspect held on $1.5M bond

The Associated Press


GULFPORT, Miss. -- Gulfport police say the man suspected of fatally shooting 29-year-old David Fountain Shivers Jr. through a kitchen window two months ago is the estranged husband of a woman Shivers was dating.
Police took 31-year-old Darrell Ross Brooks of Gulfport into custody on a murder charge Wednesday. His bond was set at $1.5 million.
The Sun Herald reports Sgt. Chris Ryle stopped short of calling the relationship between Shivers and the woman a motive for the killing.
An autopsy showed Shivers died of a gunshot wound to the head.
It wasn't immediately clear if Brooks has an attorney.
