Oxford police officer Matthew Kinne is facing a serious charge in the death of Dominique Clayton, according to local station WREG. Mississippi Bureau of Investigation officials arrested Kinne on Monday after launching a probe into the killing.
According to interim police Chief Jeff McCutcheon, the beginnings of their investigation revealed that Kinne might have been involved in a romantic relationship with Clayton, a connection the woman’s family confirms. That’s when the MBI was called in to conduct what McCutcheon promised to be an “independent and unbiased” investigation.
“We want to assure you that we will not hide behind our badge,” McCutcheon said. “Our hearts go out to the family of Dominique Clayton. To the family, we thank you for your patience and your trust in us to see this through.”
On Monday, a relative said Clayton, a mother of four, was found lying in bed and that there was a large amount of blood at the back of her head. Local station WHBQ-TV corroborated that claim, reporting that Clayton was found shot in the back of the head by her 8-year-old son after he was dropped at home by a family member.
