The shooting occurred at Camden Park Apartments on Parkview Drive on Saturday, July 19.

According to Canton Police Chief Otha Brown, James Ross was waiting for his girlfriend, who was in a car with her uncle and Troy Waldrep, 47. The police chief said there was an argument, and Ross pulled out a gun and shot Waldrep in the face.

“He (Ross) got agitated for some reason. Him and Ms. Harris had some words. He pulled out a gun and shot one time to the face to Mr. Waldrep. And after that, he left the scene,” said Brown.

Ross was later arrested by Ridgeland police. He was charged with murder, firearm in possession of a convicted felon and discharging a firearm within city limits.

Ross is being held in the Madison County Detention Center.
