Suspect involved in fatal hit and run captured, makes court appearance

JACKSON, Tenn. — We have an update regarding a story that we brought to you earlier this month.

In late April, U.S. Marshals captured Tamarcus Morrow.

Investigators say Morrow was involved in a hit and run that left the driver of the vehicle to die.

Morrow then fled to Mississippi and was later extradited to Jackson.

On Wednesday, May 15, he made a court appearance.

A witness from the hit and run scene, along with a Jackson police officer and investigator were on the stand to testify what they witnessed.

“Did the person that was standing next to the white car, who you identified as Mr. Morrow, the defendant– did he stay on scene the entire time,” said the prosecutor.

“No,” said the witness.

“Where did he go,” said the prosecutor.

“He ran towards the campus of Jackson State,” said the witness.

“Did you see him again after that,” said the prosecutor.

“No,” said the witness.

Morrow’s case will now go on to the grand jury.
