A 51-year-old man, Jarques Ratliff, has been charged with homicide in connection to the death of 29-year-old Tasia Fortune. The state medical examiner determined her death was a homicide. Fortune was found hanging from a tree in front of an abandoned house last month.

The police reported the arrest and stated that Ratliff will make his first court appearance on Monday. Further details about the case and the investigation are available from the source.

Ratliff's legal representation status is currently being determined by CNN.
