The Calhoun County Sheriffs Department and Calhoun City Police are investigating a homicide that took place some time today on West Taylor Avenue in Calhoun City.
The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation and the Crime Scene Unit out of Jackson traveled to Calhoun City tonight to help gather evidence from the scene.
Sheriff Greg Pollan said authorities were dispatched at approximately 4 p.m. when a neighbor of the victim, who lived in a house just beyond the south end zone of the Calhoun City football field, went next door to check on him.
“She knocked on the door and it opened and she saw the victim inside and immediately called 911,” Pollan said.
Authorities have been on the scene since the time of the call. The name of the victim is not being released at this time to allow all family members to be notified.
