Mississippi Man Denied Bond After Not-Guilty Plea in Homicide Case

Jarques Ratliff, 51, was ordered held without bond after entering a not-guilty plea to the murder of Tasia Fortune in Jackson, Mississippi, on 11 September 2026. The plea was entered during a court appearance that left him in custody.

Jackson police arrested Ratliff in August after the state medical examiner classified Fortune’s death as a homicide. Her body had been discovered hanging from a tree earlier that month, prompting the investigation that led to his arrest.
