As an experienced wrongful death attorney in Northern Mississippi, it pains me to see youth in our state have their lives cut short. I’m sure you’ve heard of the death of University of Mississippi football player Bennie Abram III during a February 2010 football practice.

Southaven may be the home for a new upscale, high end outlet store shopping center located at the corner of Church Road and I-55.

According to the plans, the development will be approximately 330,000 sq. feet with more than 50 different stores.
