The Kemper County Sheriff’s Department arrested a suspect in connection to a homicide that happened over the weekend.

Kemper County Sheriff James Moore said Ladarius Naylor, who was found at the scene, is in custody awaiting charges. Naylor and the victim were husband and wife, Moore said.

The body of Ariana Bianca Naylor, 22, was found at 9:25 a.m. Sunday in Kemper County after authorities responded to a vehicle fire on Gene Mosley Road.

She was found beside what appeared to be a 2015 Dodge Charger, according to Moore. He said she appeared to have suffered from lacerations to the throat.

A man who was standing next to the car when it caught fire was also transported to a Meridian hospital with lacerations to the throat of his own and was scheduled for surgery Sunday. Moore said the vehicle was burned up.

“We’re treating it as a murder investigation. We’ll be awaiting the doctor’s evaluation,” Moore said.
