Man’s Apparent Traffic Accident Death Becomes Gunshot Murder Mystery
August 13, 2013
A Brewton man first thought to have died as the result of a car accident Sunday night in Mississippi was actually murdered, authorities said Monday.
Donald Morris, 59, died at the Biloxi Regional Medical Center about an hour after a traffic crash at 8:40 p.m. just off Main Street in Biloxi. Police said Morris was driving a 2003 Ford Explorer when he left the roadway, hit a fence and overturned at least twice. Authorities believe he was unconscious at the time of the crash.
Biloxi Police said a preliminary autopsy Monday revealed the true cause of Morris’ death — a bullet lodged in his head.
Sunday night, as police worked the accident scene, they were called to another shooting just a couple of blocks away. One person was treated for a gunshot would and released from the hospital. Authorities are now working to determine if the shooting incident was at all related to Morris’ death.
