JACKSON, MS (Mississippi News Now) –  Hinds County Coroner Sharon Grisham-Stewart says 80-year-old Janie Fullilove was wearing the same clothing when she was killed that she wore to work Friday. Grisham-Stewart says she suspects Fullilove was killed Friday night.

The coroner said Fullilove was shot twice, once in the back of the head and once in the abdomen. She was also hit in the head. Jackson police tell us a neighbor discovered Fullilove’s body Saturday evening in the shed behind her Merigold Drive home some time after 5 p.m. Fullilove’s silver 2010 Volvo was also missing.

Investigators were able to determine that 17-year-old Kahlil Kennedy was last seen driving the vehicle.

According to police, Fullilove’s vehicle was found Sunday morning at the Westwick Apartments on Flag Chapel Road.

Kennedy, of Jackson, was taken into custody Sunday morning. He is charged with capital murder and auto theft. Investigators say the motive appears to have been robbery. The case will be presented to a Grand Jury. Kennedy is believed to have a prior juvenile record.

A neighbor says Kennedy was Fullilove’s neighbor until he moved about a year ago, and Kennedy would do odd jobs around the house for Fullilove.  (continue reading with video)
