Levor Taylor, 34, was found dead in a ditch in Canton, Mississippi on December 24, 2023. His body was discovered at the intersection of Dinkins and Jewel Williams streets about 2:15 p.m. after witnesses saw two men remove a body from the trunk of a Ford Fusion and leave it by the roadside. The Canton Police Chief’s initial examination indicated Taylor had sustained a gunshot wound to the chest.

Investigators focused on Taylor’s roommate, 49-year-old Calvin Jones, who told police that Taylor had been in a physical altercation on December 23, 2023 with 50-year-old Calvin Prisley and that Prisley shot Taylor. Jones admitted helping Prisley move and conceal the body the next day. Arrests followed for both men in connection with Taylor’s death.
