More Details Emerge in Case of Murder of Openly Gay Mayoral Candidate
Friends
of slain Clarksdale, Miss., mayoral candidate Marco McMillian say he
was romantically involved with the man charged with his murder, Lawrence
Reed. Reed's friends denied he is gay and suggested he panicked after
McMillian made sexual advances. McMillian's family members say the
murder should be investigated as a hate crime, something local authorities have so far not done.
