Marcus Johnson, Suspect In Mississippi Killing Of Gay Ex Lover Has Been Arrested

We previously reported that a Mississippi man was killed early Tuesday morning after a former lover allegedly stalked him and gunned him down inside his own apartment.

According to WJTV, Carlos Collins, 25, had multiple restraining orders against his ex, Marcus Johnson, 33, before the tragic event occurred.

Carlos’ mother claims her son was at M-Bar in Jackson, Mississippi when Marcus popped up at the club to reportedly stalk Carlos. Although he had a restraining order, officers at the club claim they could not do anything about it because they didn’t have the restraining order physically with them. So, when Carlos left the club, Marcus reportedly followed him back to his apartment and killed him.
