A Mississippi man surrendered to police this week after he allegedly kidnapped his ex-girlfriend who died after falling out of his moving car while suffering gunshot wounds.
Joshua Andrews, 29, allegedly kidnapped Glynis Jackson from the parking lot of a Nissan plant in Canton on Monday morning.
After forcing the mother-of-three into his car, Andrews drove onto Interstate 55, Holmes County Sheriff Willie March said.
While Andrews traveled in Holmes County, Jackson fell out of the moving vehicle and was struck by another vehicle. She died at the scene, March said.
Madison County Sheriff Randy Tucker said Jackson was suffering from multiple gunshot wounds when she was found dead at the 161-mile marker. A gun was found at the scene.
“This is a heinous crime that shocks the conscience of society and Andrews will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law,” Tucker said.
Andrews, who had previously spent jail time for aggravated assault, turned himself in to Carroll County authorities. He will be prosecuted in Madison County.
“The young man that did this, we also had arrested him several years ago and sent him to prison for aggravated assault,” March said.
“So, he had that kind of temper to commit such a crime. But I really hate that it happened to this young lady.”
