Suspect denied Bond after being accused

Jackson, Miss. (WLBT) – A man who killed with a hammer for killing his mother in 2022 is now facing another suspicion of murder – this time because he supposedly killed an inmate in the Hinds County Detention Center.

Dekarius Funches is one of three people who are charged with the death of Anthony Jones for murder.

Jones was killed on April 22nd. Arrest warrants for Funches, Tyrell Snell and Mason Strate were exhibited at the beginning of this month.

The judge of the Hinds County, Johnnie McDaniels, declined Bond for Snell and Strate last week. And on Tuesday he played Bond for Funches.

McDaniels described all three danger to society, pointed to their earlier records and pending charges.

At the time when Jones was killed, Funches had been in prison for almost three years because he stole his mother in the 3200 block of Lakewood Drive and her car, a Nissan Rogue 2019.

Funches was charged with the indictment in December 2022, but according to court files, it is not yet necessary to go to the court.

Days later, on April 23, Gibbs submitted an order that funches are subjected to a mental assessment to determine whether he is competent to start legal proceedings.
