A Mississippi man is facing capital murder charges after allegedly kidnapping his pregnant ex-girlfriend, Glynis Jackson, and killing her in a tragic escape attempt.
Joshua Demarshall Andrews, 38, is accused of abducting Jackson from her workplace at a Nissan plant in Canton on January 27, 2025.
According to authorities, Andrews shot Jackson multiple times before she attempted to escape from the car and was struck by a passing vehicle. She was pregnant with Andrews’ child at the time.
The kidnapping was reported to authorities around 7:30 a.m., with Jackson’s death following shortly after. Sheriff Randy Tucker confirmed that Andrews later turned himself in at the Carroll County Sheriff’s Office.
