Arrest in Tasia Fortune's Homicide | Global News

A man has been arrested in the shocking homicide of Tasia Fortune, a 29-year-old Black mother of four found hanging in Jackson, Mississippi. Authorities identified 51-year-old Jarques Ratliff as the suspect, though details about their relationship remain unclear. The arrest came after the medical examiner ruled it a homicide, allowing warrants to be issued — suggesting police had a lead before the ruling. Tasia’s mother, Christy Spivey, called the arrest a moment of relief but remains desperate for answers about motive and how Ratliff was identified. She insists her daughter wouldn’t have taken her own life and is rallying the public to keep saying Tasia’s name as she fights for justice. More arrests may be coming as this investigation continues.
