(Olive Branch, MS 1/30/11) - A 33-year-old woman was found dead Saturday morning in the home she shares with her boyfriend in Olive Branch.
Police were initially called to the 10600 block of Pecan View Drive at around 8:45 Saturday morning, when neighbors spotted Jelani Greene walking completely naked in the street.
Mary Walls, who lives across the street, was one of the neighbors who saw Greene and called the police.
"He was just walking down the street. And me and some other neighbors called the police. And when they pulled into the subdivision over there, he just laid down in front of the cop car. That was kind of shocking to see him lay down right in front of the cop car," she said.
Officers took Greene back to his home. Upon arrival, they found 33-year-old China Lashella Jones dead inside.
"Everything was fine until yesterday. We didn't know exactly what was going on until the police showed up. That's when we found out she was dead," Walls said.
Walls knows Jones's sister, who owns the home the couple lived in. Walls also said her son and Jones's son often play together.
A cause of death has yet to be determined.
Greene is being held at the DeSoto County Jail on a $1,111,111 bond.
