MEMPHIS, Tenn. — The suspect accused in a triple homicide in New Mexico turned himself over to authorities in Hernando, Mississippi on Sunday, according to the DeSoto County Sheriff’s Office.
A search warrant in the 11100 block of Pecan Ridge Cove on Sunday led to the arrest of Kane Mayes, accused in the shooting deaths of three people in Alamogordo, New Mexico.
The DCSO says a detective from Alamogordo informed the sheriff’s office that the suspect, along with a vehicle stolen during the crime, was believed to be at the home in Hernando.
At the home, detectives reportedly recovered the 2015 Subaru Outback that had been reported stolen in relation to the homicides, along with “other items of evidentiary value.”
Reports say Mayes turned himself in at the Hernando Police Department and confessed to driving the stolen car from New Mexico to the home on Pecan Ridge Cove.
Mayes was taken into custody and charged with Receiving Stolen Property – Felony and Fugitive from Justice. He is currently awaiting extradition back to New Mexico.
