DOWNTOWN JACKSON — The man accused of shooting and killing his fiancee in a Union University parking lot was in court, Thursday, but only briefly. A mental evaluation has been ordered for Charles Pittman, 21. The case has been continued until after the results of the evaluation comes back. Around 7:50 a.m. on Feb. 12, Jackson police were called after Olivia Greenlee was found dead in her 2001 Toyota Corolla on the parking lot behind Luther Hall on Union University’s campus. A gun was found inside the car and the preliminary cause of death was a single gunshot wound. Pittman, 21, was developed as a person of interest. On Friday evening, investigators met with Pittman and conducted a follow-up interview. Based on their findings, he was taken into custody and booked at the Madison County Jail on an investigative hold. On Saturday afternoon, investigators met with prosecutors and discussed the evidence in the case. The evidence shows that on Tuesday night Pittman shot Greenlee as she sat in her car. Pittman then staged the crime scene to give the appearance that Greenlee had committed suicide.
