Man is charged in dorm murder

— Authorities say a man has been charged with capital murder and the sale of a controlled substance in the death of a Mississippi State University student shot Saturday in a dormitory.

Mason Perry Jones, 21, of Jackson was charged in the death of 21-year-old John Sanderson, university police said.

University spokesman Maridith Geuder said Jones wasn’t a Mississippi State student.

The U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force arrested Jones on Sunday in Memphis.

Two “persons of interest” are wanted for questioning, authorities say.
