Police said Pete Taylor’s juvenile grandson found his body Thursday night when he came home shortly after 10:30 p.m., according to the Natchez Democrat.

Annitta Taylor, who was a caregiver for her grandfather, has been charged with murder, according to Natchez Police Chief Caroline Green

“This was an awful tragedy today,” said Adams County Coroner James Lee. “I continue to be baffled by these continuous incidents that I call avoidable. My heart continues to go out to these families.”

Taylor’s body has been sent to the Mississippi State Crime Lab for autopsy, he said.

Police provided no further details about the murder.
