Apparently the boyfriend who assaulted her previously led investigators to the body. He was already in custody for that assualt.

According to the Clarion Ledger:

Stanley Cole, 24, is suspected in the slaying of Latasha Norman.

A body found this afternoon off Brown Street in north Jackson is that of Norman, Jackson Police Department spokesman Sgt. Jeffery Scott confirmed late today.

The remains were found around 2 p.m. in a wooded area on Brown Street near County Line Road.

Cole, a criminal justice major at JSU, was in a Pearl court early Thursday for a hearing into charges he struck Norman Oct. 9 at a restaurant in Pearl. He was later taken into custody for further questioning in Norman?s disappearance.

Cole, whom Scott had termed ?a person of Interest? a few hours earlier, was formally charged with murder after Norman?s body was found.

Cole apparently led police to the body.

    This is so sad, rest in peace.

    On a side note, police officers have tasered a pregnant black mother:

    It is a sad thing that 97% of murders envolving BlacK americans are committed by other Black americans. I have read that each year more homicides are committed by black on blacks then all the lynchings during Jim Crow. What has happened to Our family? Black folks hardley even speak to one another, why have we allowed ourselves to become this way? There seems to be an agenda to finish what the KKK started. This is breaking my heart Family. The Taylor family, The Normans, they are just the two familys out of God knows how many others who have to go through this this week. I am feeling for them all.It seems Like when we were colored we cared for each other. I am sorry for going on about it, just wanted to say what I was feeling. God Bless.

    I want to offer my deepest sorrow for the family of Ms. Norman. This was a young talented life wasted. I agree with OG in that we as a Black community must be watchful in our interactions with one another.

    All of us as humans are sadly taking life much too much for granted. We certainly do not have the right to take the life of another and as Black people, we should especially be mindful when thinking about hurting each other.

    I have two sons and I know I cannot imagine the pain that I am sure Ms. Norman’s family is going through at this time. My prayers are with them. We all need to exercise restraint when we are angry. Violence in relationships does nothing but destroy. I am truely sorry.

    I went to school with both Natasha and Stanley. I’m currently in Iraq and I first heard about the story yesterday. I was worried and today found out that she’s been found dead. I never thought her end would be like this. I really don’t know what to say. I’m sad and shocked by this. I hope her family is making it. She was one of the nicest people you could meet. Never had a problem with anybody. Always positive and never had anything negative to say to or about anybody.

    OG I have to say, if God wanted someone with him, I don’t think he would cause them to die like this. This is the result of sin running it’s natural course.

    Nonetheless, now Latasha can sleep the peaceful sleep of death, and be subject to the fouls of this world.

    Barbara, I agree anger cannot be an excuse for our behavior. We have the power to control our actions, that’s what seperates us from animals; were are not merely instinctual, we can make moral decisions.
