Police in Mississippi have arrested Tranell Marquise Williams , 38, in connection with the murder of comedian Reginald ‘Reggie’ Carroll, The Guardian reported.
Carroll died on August 20 at Regional One Hospital in Memphis after being shot on Burton Lane in northern Mississippi. Southaven police rushed him to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries.
Williams, whose mugshot was obtained by TMZ, has tattoos on his chest and a teardrop tattoo near one eye, and sports a well-trimmed French beard. He was arrested on the same day Carroll died and remains in police custody as the investigation continues.
Carroll, a native of Maryland, gained recognition as a comedian after appearing on BET’s ComicView in 1992. He also became friends with Oscar-winning comedian Mo’Nique during his performances on the sitcom The Parkers. Most recently, Carroll had been touring with actor and comedian Katt Williams.
In a related development, the Southaven Police Department issued a 14-day eviction notice to Onyxx Owll, a Burton Lane store that sells Katt Williams merchandise. The notice cited criminal activity on or near the premises as a violation of the lease agreement.
Authorities have not released a motive, and the investigation into Carroll’s murder is ongoing.
