MARIANNA -- A fourth person has been arrested in the investigation of a Sunday homicide in Jackson County.
Arrested was Laderious D. Corbitt Pittman, who was charged with murder and attempted robbery.
Pittman was implicated in the homicide of Patrick Register and the attempted homicide of Travis Locke through witness statements and physical evidence collected during the investigation, according to the Jackson County Sheriff’s Office. Pittman turned himself in Thursday after hearing of an arrest warrant.
Already arrested were Dayeisha Curry, Christopher Laster and Jordan Davis.
JCSO said Register and Locke, both of Sneads, were shot early Sunday morning on Dellwood Cypress Road , where they expected to purchase pseudoephedrine pills used to cook methamphetamine. The sheriff’s office said Locke had arraigned the deal, but the two men were instead ambushed during the drug deal.
